So far, fourteen Apex Court Judges have tested positive for Coronavirus in the third wave, causing scheduled hearings before benches with a pre-specified composition of Judges to go haywire. Two Judges have recovered and returned to work, but as of Thursday, 12 of the total 32 were still in quarantine. The majority have only minor symptoms. Cases were postponed as a result of the Supreme Court registry's notification of the non-availability of many Judges. The reorganization of benches resulted in lead Judges adjourning hearings on cases that had previously been heard in part. While presiding over a bench that also included Justice Bela M Trivedi, Justice D Y Chandrachud told lawyers that "a lot of uncertainty is going on in the Supreme Court as many judges have tested positive, putting the CJI in great difficulty regarding fixing the composition of benches for scheduled hearing of matters." When colleagues return, the situation will improve." A Central Government team led by Dr. Shyama Gupta is working almost nonstop to meet the medical needs of the infected judges and staff. To make matters worse for Dr. Gupta, three of the team's five doctors tested positive and were quarantined.
