New Delhi, January 25

Thirteen judges of the Supreme Court and 400 court staff were infected with Covid during the third wave of the pandemic, Chief Justice of India NV Ramana said on Tuesday.

The revelation came from the CJI after an advocate complained that his case was not urgently listed by the Registry for hearing. “If you don’t know the problem, what can we do? Four hundred people in the Registry got Covid and 13 judges were tested positive. Despite our bodies not cooperating, we are taking up cases…You should understand that,” CJI Ramana said. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
