(2) The ground that the waiver of the due process rights of notice and hearing was not voluntary, intelligent and knowing shall be raised only (i) in support of a further request for a stay of execution where the court has not stayed execution despite the timely filing of a petition for relief from the judgment and the presentation of prima facie evidence of a defense; and (ii) as provided by Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 2958.3 or Rule 2973.3. (3) If written notice is served upon the petitioner pursuant to Rule 2956.l(c)(2) or Rule 2973.l(c), the petition shall be filed within thirty days after such service.
