Some justices and officers of the Supreme Court have tested positive for coronavirus. It has significantly affected the apex court’s functioning.

The court has formed only one bench of Justice Manoj Kumar Sharma for Sunday. The bench will hear nine cases.

In general, the court has over seven benches every day.

But, the court says some justices and officers have contracted that disease and them as well as others who contacted them are in isolation. The court has not revealed which justices and officers were infected. Neither is the number of Covid-19 cases clear.
