Amid a nationwide surge in coronavirus cases, four judges of the Supreme Court are suspected to have got infected with Covid-19, sources said on Saturday.

While four judges are reportedly down with Covid-19, a fifth judge recovered from coronavirus infection a week ago, they said, adding yet another judge is indisposed due to some other health problem, they said.

Due to unavailability of a judge—who is part of the five-judge Constitution Bench hearing petitions seeking legal recognition for same sex marriage – hearing on the contentious issue has already been cancelled.

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).
