Will Haryana Chief Secretary be judge in his own case?

Three senior IAS officers of 1990 batch in Haryana, Anurag Rastogi (now Chief Secretary), Ankur Gupta (retired) and Raja Sekhar Vundru had last year given a representation to the then Chief Secretary TVSN Prasad, seeking revision of the seniority list by placing them ahead of Sudhir Rajpal and Sumita  Misra, the two other IAS officers, who had been transferred to Haryana from other states. Rastogi, Gupta and Vundru are from the Haryana IAS cadre itself. However, Prasad had referred the matter to the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), which took the view that the case should be decided by the Chief Secretary. Prasad did not take any decision in the matter until his retirement on 31 October, 2024. The matter is still pending since then. Now, Rastogi is the Haryana Chief Secretary and is virtually the judge in his own case. But according to the discussion in the bureaucratic circle, Rastogi is said to recuse himself even if the state Government decided to take a call on this issue during his tenure as Chief Secretary.
