Ajay Kumar Sharda, who was the district and session judge when the scam came to light last month, was quizzed yesterday at a guest house here, the ACB sources said, adding that he is currently posted in a family court in Banswara.
However, they did not disclose any further details, saying that it may affect the ongoing probe.
The Rajasthan Anti-Corruption Bureau last month unearthed a racket in which the court clerk recruitment process was allegedly being influenced after money was taken from candidates.
The agency recovered Rs 14 lakh from the house of two brothers Rajesh Sharma and Hitesh Sharma, who are the employees of Ajmer's Nasirabad court. In another raid, Rs 1.8 lakh and Rs 80,000 were recovered from the houses of advocate Hemraj and advocate Bhagwan.
