Punjab and Haryana High Court Chief Justice Ravi Shanker Jha on Thursday administered the oath of office to six additional judges of the High Court, comprising a couple.
They are Ashok Kumar Verma, Sant Parkash, Meenakshi I. Mehta, Karamjit Singh, Vivek Puri and Archana Puri.
Among them, the Puris -- Vivek and Archana -- are a married couple. The High Court witnessed a rare occasion of a husband-wife duo taking the oath together.
