CASE DISPOSED - CONTESTED-- DECREED WITH COST
28-Jan-2023 (In Civil Law)
Hi,
We have a case on our home where the opposite party's name is in Petitioner and my dad's name is in Respondent. I checked the case status online today (27-01-2020) and below is the case status.
First Hearing Date: 06th September 2013
Decision Date: 20th February 2014
Case Status: CASE DISPOSED
Nature of Disposal: Contested--Decreed with cost
What is the meaning of this? We are not aware of anything in this regard and I'm shocked to read online that case "disposed" means case is closed and "Decreed with cost" means the person in Petitioner has won the case.
Can someone please explain me about this
Decreed means that the suit (case) is allowed in favour of the plaintiff. if you are not aware of the case, then we can file for set aside petition and contest the case. get in touch for further info.

What is the meaning of contested allowed no cost?
If you are a respondent, you will be referred to as having contested your case and a maintenance allowance order has been made against you. It is best to ask your advocate what amount of allowances you will have to pay the petitioner. Case disposed is the same as a case that has been disposed.
What does decreed without cost mean?
The court has ruled in your favor, but the other party is not required to pay any costs to you or to the court. 02-Dec-2019
What is the meaning of contested decree?
If the second party fails to appear, despite notice being served, the court will proceed ex parte against the defendant. The suit will be decreed ex parti in favor of the plaintiff. If the second party contests the case, it is referred to as a contested order or case.
Contested and decreed with cost means you have already entered appearance in the case either personally or through an advocate. You have to bear the expenses shown by them in the cost memo filed by the Plaintiff.
