A detailed inquiry will be conducted by the apex court's secretary general, with the court deciding the future course of action, sources said.
Justice Sharad Kumar Sharma, the judicial member of the Chennai-based NCLAT, alleged that he was being approached by a member of the higher judiciary for a favourable order in a case pending before him.
Justice Sharma's recusal was an unprecedented move, given his allegations that he being "approached by one of the most revered members of the higher judiciary", to seek an order in favour of a party.
