ADJ court allowed appeal even after absconding defendant what to do

I am plaintiff. Posseession of suit property taken in 2012 under Order 12 Rule 6 CPC. Defendant stopped attending court. Trial Court awarded damages by further order in 2013. Execution Petition filed. defendant untraceable. Traced when third execution warrant reached his office. He appealed, although time barred. The ADJ allowed appeal stating that opportunity not allowed to defendant to cross examine plaintiff, whereas the fact is that Trial Court granted adjounments but defendant did not appear. The defendant cannot take advantage of his own wrongs, and plaintiff cannot be made to suffer retrial for irresponsible acts of the defendant. What action should i take now?
