The appellant obtained knowledge of the impugned judgment and decree only when execution proceedings were taken out before the executing court in Gujarat. (vi). The appellant approached another counsel who fell ill and was advised bed rest for two months. (vi)(a). To be noted, the prescription slip of the counsel has been appended in this behalf. 5.[1] In so far as the aforesaid grounds are concerned, they are vague and bald as there are no material particulars on record qua any ofthem save and except the last ground. 5.[2] In so far as the counsel's illness is concerned, even according to him, he was advised bedrest for a periodof two months.
