Subsequently, Justice Kumar asked the lawyer why he is not arguing, and if he is not attached to the office.  The advocate responded that he was not aware of the facts of the case as he had not read the case brief. This led Justice Kumar to note that the matter came up for hearing after 2019, but the lawyers are yet not ready to argue.

Consecutively, he lamented that courts are blamed for delay, but the bench is sitting in vacation but nobody is there to argue.  F...
