Knowledge of the decree
Knowledge of the decree, the expression 'knowledge of the decree' in Art. 164 means knowledge of the particular decree which is sought to be set aside. When the summons was not duly served, limitation under Art. 164 does not start running against the defendant because he has received some vague information that some decree has been passed against him. It is a question of fact in each case whether the information conveyed to the defendant is insufficient to impute to him knowledge of the decree within the meaning of Art. 164. The test of the sufficiency is not what the information would mean to a stranger, but what it meant to the defendant in the light of his previous dealings with the plaintiff and the facts and circumstances known to him.

It is not necessary that a copy of the decree should be served on the defendant. It is sufficien...

Dastane v. Shrikant S. Shivde, (2001) 6 SCC 135.The word 'misconduct' is not capable of precise definition, but at the same time though incapable of precise definition, the word 'misconduct' on reflection receives its connotation from the context, the delinquency in performance and its effect on the discipline and the nature of duty. The act complained of must bear a forbidden quality or...
