The Delhi High Court, presided over by Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, has commenced contempt proceedings against Arvind Kejriwal (chief of the Aam Aadmi Party) and other senior party leaders, including Manish Sisodia. The judge stated that there has been an ongoing campaign of 'extremely vilifying' and 'defamatory material' directed at her, which she described as an attack on the judiciary. This campaign coincides with hearings related to the Delhi liquor policy case. Justice Sharma noted that a 'coordinated campaign' was being waged online to undermine the court's authority, and she expressed concern over the impact of such actions on public confidence in the judiciary. Kejriwal has publicly stated that he will not participate in the proceedings, citing a loss of faith in the judge's ability to deliver justice. The judge highlighted the necessity of maintaining the integrity of the judicial system against political pressure, asserting that any attempt to erode public trust through such campaigns constitutes a serious instance of contempt.
