Direct re-hearing of appeal

²[(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in rule 21 or any other law, the Court may, in order to avoid delay and expedite disposal, directly re-hear an appeal which is heard ex parte, without requiring the respondent to adduce evidence to satisfy it about sufficient causes as required under rule 21, but requiring him to pay such cost not exceeding three thousand taka as it may deem appropriate and determine:

Provided that an appeal under this rule shall not be re-heard unless an application, supported by affidavit, praying for such re-hearing is made to the Court within thirty days of the date on which the ex parte decree is passed against the respondent:

Provided further that no appeal shall be re-heard more than once under this rule.

(2) As soon as an order under sub-rule (1) is made to re-hear an appeal, the Court shall cause notice thereof to be served at the cost of the respondent upon the appellant.]
