A NCLAT judge in Chennai has recused himself from hearing a case after a "higher judicial member" ordered him to "favor a party." The tribunal's decision, which is a significant victory for the government, was made on the grounds that the person's claim was not supported by evidence. The ruling clarifies that a person cannot be charged with a crime for a mere professional dealing.
