Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta has tested positive for COVID-19 and has mild symptoms.
A statement issued by the Solicitor General's office said he tested Covid positive on Sunday night and is isolating.
"Since I had mild symptoms from Saturday, I had isolated myself from Saturday only," Mehta said in the statement.
Referring to the swearing in ceremony of President Droupadi Murmu, he said ,"I am feeling sorry for myself that I won't be able to personally witness the historic oath".
The Solicitor General would virtually appear in two-three small matters in the apex court on Monday and thereafter would take leave for few days.
