  The environmental influence is inevitable but often ignored in the study of
electronic transport properties of small-scale systems. Such an
environment-mediated interaction can generally be described by a parity-time
symmetric non-Hermitian system with a balanced distribution of physical gain
and loss. It is quite known in the literature that along with the conventional
junction current, another current called bias-driven circular current can be
established in a loop geometry depending upon the junction configuration. This
current, further, induces a strong magnetic field that can even reach to few
Tesla. What will happen to these quantities when the system interacts with its
surrounding environment? Would it exhibit a detrimental response? We address
such issues considering a two-terminal ring geometry where the junction setup
is described within a tight-binding framework. All the transport quantities are
evaluated using the standard Green's function formalism based on the
Landauer-B\"{u}ttiker approach.
