Arvind Kejriwal, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief, is set to appear before the Delhi High Court to request that his affidavits regarding the recusal of Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma be officially recorded. This follows a series of challenges where his responses to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) have not been accepted. Kejriwal's recusal plea stems from concerns that Justice Sharma's children are associated with the government, which could present a conflict of interest in the excise policy case. The CBI has opposed the recusal, arguing that it could create a precedent disqualifying judges from hearing cases involving political figures. Kejriwal's attempts to file affidavits have faced obstacles, prompting him to personally appeal to the court for acceptance. The outcome of this legal battle could have significant implications for judicial processes involving government officials.
