A very competent lawyer had once applied and got empanelled as a Union government advocate. Everyone congratulated him upon seeing his name in the notification. Weeks elapsed and he had not been assigned any brief. After two months, he asked others who had been empanelled with him and who were getting regular briefs if there was some reason why he was being overlooked. They all said he would have to go and personally meet the ‘Boss’.
