Yes, ex parte anything means the judge(s) only listened to one side of a dispute, and as one of the Just Dial people noted, they're rare. For this sort of case, unheard of in the US.
It does sound very bad, especially given that Indian courts aren't noted for speed.
You may want to be weary of those co-workers of yours. People who think they can get away with anything because they have "connections" are corrupt themselves.

Could this be due to bribery, or political connection?
In India? Doesn't seem unreasonable.
I've heard Indian coworkers practically brag about how corrupt their officials are.

/an Indian.
"practically brag" is a bit of a colloquialism. It doesn't mean that they were proud of it, just emphatically suggesting that something is true.
I doubt that. High court (and law offices, in general) are clean in India.
Are you sure?

The question answers itself, I'd say.
Hmm, would the company have its DR/backup servers seized as well? And what if the servers are in the US or cloud-based?
