-
This appeal was listed for hearing on 2.7.2015. When the case was called, none appeared for the parties. Obviously, the absence of the Counsel was due to the strike call given by one Bar Association. In the afternoon of 30.6.2015, one Advocate had left a notice with the Registrar of this tribunal disclosing that the members of the Bar Association would be on indefinite strike w.e.f. 1.7.2015 This appeal, therefore, ought to have been dismissed in view of the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court. Still, in the interest of justice, the appeal was adjourned to 3.7.2015 by this Tribunal to assure itself that the absence of the Counsel/parties was not due to any reason other than strike.
