WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS CASE?

PNB ARGUES THAT THEIR COUNSELS WERE NEGLIGENT AND AS A RESULT THEY WERE DEPRIVED OF THEIR DAY IN COURT. SUPREME COURT SAID THE NEGLIGENCE OF COUNSEL MUST BE GROSS. SUCH IS NOT THE CASE HERE. AS A GENERAL RULE NEGLIGENCE OF COUNSEL BINDS THE CLIENT. THERE IS AN EXCEPTION: WHEN THE NEGLIGENCE OF COUNSEL IS SO GROSS THAT ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE COULD NOT HAVE GUARDED AGAINST IT.
