Calcutta High Court Acting Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal on Monday asked the state advocate-general to take the responsibility so that all employees and others related to the legal community could get Covid-19 vaccines with immediate effect.

The judge was responding to a petition seeking immediate vaccination of the court staff.

The acting chief justice said that in order to run the court normally, members of the legal community, including its staff, should be vaccinated.

State advocate-general Kishore Datta assured the court that he would take steps in accordance with the directive.
