A bench of three judges in the Supreme Court was reduced to two in between the hearing after the third judge, who recently recovered from COVID-19, was requested by a colleague on the bench to take rest.

During the proceedings, Justice Rohinton F Nariman inquired about the health of fellow judge, Justice Krishna Murari. It was then that those attending the proceedings of the court came to know that justice Murari had tested positive and it was his first day in court after recovery.
