(3.) ACCORDING to the writ petitioner, he was suffering from spondylitis from 23.4.1996 to 26.8.1996 and he was under medical treatment; certificate of the doctor was filed before the Tribunal. After recovery he wanted to contact the lawyer but due to strike resorted to by the lawyers from 27.8.96 to 15.9.1996, he could not do so. Ultimately when he consulted his counsel, the petitioner was asked to get 'no objection' from his previous lawyer which took sometime.
