ORDER 64 : EFFECT OF NON-COMPLIANCE

---

1. Non-compliance with any of these Rules, or with any Rule of practice for the time being in force, shall not render any proceedings void unless the Court or Judge shall so direct, but such proceedings may be set aside either wholly or in part as irregular, or amended, or otherwise dealt with in such manner and upon such terms as the Court or Judge shall think fit.

2. No application to set aside any proceeding for irregularity shall be allowed unless made within reasonable time, nor if the party applying has taken any fresh step after knowledge of the irregularity.

3. Where an application is made to set aside proceedings for irregularity, the several objections intended to be insisted upon shall be stated in the summons.

4. When a summons is taken out to set aside any process or proceeding for irregularity with costs and the summons is dismissed generally without any special direction as to costs, it is to be understood as dismissed with costs.
