Petitioner was declared ex parte as he was continuously absent before the Family Court. Thereafter, a petition was filed for setting aside the ex parte order. That was allowed on payment of cost of Rs.1,500/=. Even the petition to set aside the ex parte order was filed with a delay condonation petition. There also Rs.1,500/= was ordered as costs as the petition to set aside the ex parte order was filed after long delay. The amount of cost as ordered was not paid and, hence, the petition to set aside the ex parte order was dismissed. We see no ground to interfere with the same. The writ petition is dismissed.
