Three days after an Additional District & Sessions Judge tested Coronavirus positive, another Judge of the District Court, Chandigarh, tested positive today. 

As per information, Punita Bashamboo, Judicial Magistrate (First Class), contracted the virus. The District & Sessions Judge has assigned her duties to Mandeep Singh Kainth, Civil Judge-cum Judicial Magistrate (First Class), for Aug 11, 13 & 15 in addition to his own duties.

The staff that came in contact with the Judge over the last few days has been asked to go for self-quarantine.

In a separate order, the District & Sessions Judge has asked Bashamboo not to attend office.

The case has come at a time when Registrar-General of the HC has sought suggestions from the District & Sessions Judges on limited physical hearing in district & subordinate courts.

The HC, as well as Subordinate Courts in Punjab, Haryana & Chandigarh, are working in a restricted manner.
