1. ““In Lichter v. Scher, 4 Ill. App.2d 37 , where one of the defendants sought to have a judgment set aside on the ground that no service of summons had been made upon it, the Appellate Court applying the principle announced in the Ellman case, held that a motion supported by affidavits under Section 72 of the Practice Act averring as it did that the defendants had not been served was addressed to the equitable powers of the court which would enable it to grant relief against a void judgment. “Under varying factual situations, we find similar holdings in Schnable v. Tuma, 351 Ill. App. 486 ; Admiral Corp. v. Newell, 348 Ill. App. 180 ; Lane v. Bohlig, supra [ 349 Ill. App. 487 ]. “In the instant case, the defendants seek the same relief which the court in the Lichter case held might be granted on a motion made under Section 72 of the Practice Act. The only distinction between the two cases appears to be the fact that defendants filed their motion and sought to have the judgments vacated within 30 days after their entry.””
