unable to load jquery through google server in ja_orisite joomla template

Question

I am using JA_Orisite template of joomla2.5 for my client, and unable to load jquery file "//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.min.js"(needed for menu and article scrollings, etc), This file was being loaded on localhost, when I transfered the site using akeeba backup and recovery process, after installation on server I am unable to load jquery.

Surprisingly, I was having file permission issues on server, once I set 777 to all the files of my site, Jquery file was also working properly.

As the first server is not providing me the expected speed and service, I have transfered the site to other hosting server, which is now giving the same problem of jquery, On this server too I tried to set the permissions to 777, and yet unable to load jquery files.

Rather than importing it from Google, you could always import a local version like so:

<?php
  // load jQuery, if not loaded before
  if(!JFactory::getApplication()->get('jquery')){
     JFactory::getApplication()->set('jquery',true);
     $document = JFactory::getDocument();
     $document->addScript(JURI::root() . "templates/template_name/js/jquery.js");
  }
?>
