Byju’s insolvency order: NCLAT judge recuses from hearing appeal

A National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) judge on Monday recused himself from hearing a plea seeking an interim stay on the insolvency proceedings against Think and Learn, the parent company of edtech firm Byju.

The hearing on the plea filed by Byju Raveendran, the founder of the company, was then adjourned.

While recusing himself from the hearing, Justice Sharad Kumar Sharma of NCLAT Chennai bench said he had appeared for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) several times as a lawyer and, therefore, did not think it appropriate to hear the matter, according to law platform Bar & Bench.
