The snake, which was 4.5 to 5 feet long and non-poisonous, was discovered early in the morning when the judge was not present in his chambers.
According to officials, after the snake was discovered, the information was immediately relayed to the police staff who contacted an NGO – SarpMitra (friend of the snake).
One Valmiki from the organisation arrived and seized the snake. The snake will be release in its appropriate premises, the official said.
