<h1>Inquiry ordered into allegation that senior judge sought favorable order in appeal over CIRP under Section 7</h1> The Supreme Court has ordered an inquiry by its secretary-general into a National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) judicial member's allegation that a senior member of the higher judiciary sought a favourable order in an appeal, prompting the judicial member's recusal and a two-paragraph recorded order. The appeal by a suspended director challenged initiation of a corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) commenced by a creditor; the appellate bench had earlier reserved judgment. The apex court will determine next steps based on the inquiry's findings; the judicial member has previously recused from other insolvency matters.
