Kejriwal Challenges Judicial Impartiality; Files Affidavit Seeking Justice Sharma’s Recusal in Excise Case
Arvind Kejriwal files a formal affidavit seeking the recusal of Justice Sharma in the 2022 excise case, alleging potential bias due to her family’s professional ties to the Solicitor General. Following a heated hearing and claims of political links, the court has reserved its order on the plea, marking a critical juncture in the CBI’s appeal against the former Delhi Chief Minister.
The legal confrontation underscores a deep divide regarding the CBI’s challenge to Kejriwal’s discharge in the excise case, a matter that continues to polarize AAP supporters and critics alike. By centering the affidavit on the professional affiliations of the judge's family and her associations with politically aligned organizations, Kejriwal has forced a critical examination of administrative and judicial impartiality within the Delhi high court. As Justice Sharma deliberates on whether to step away from the bench or continue presiding over the CBI’s appeal, the outcome of this recusal plea stands as a pivotal moment that will define the procedural integrity and the future trajectory of the 2022 liquor scam litigation.
