Before that in April 2007 TBPR update, we lost few important web page page rank.
Also, the website is hosted in shared IP. My client is constantly asking for the reason & when I say it’s because of JavaScript redirect, they don’t agree with me.
What could be the reason for decline in hits?

I am sorry if my suggestion was mentioned in the thread.
I read here that search engines do not understand JavaScript, and I agree.
But search engines understand the <noscript> tag. And in there you can add a link to the page you want to direct to.
In addition I would like to add an article about search engine friendly redirects we published on our site:
