Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma of the Delhi High Court delivered a detailed order explaining her refusal to recuse herself from the appeal involving Arvind Kejriwal (chief of the Aam Aadmi Party), Manish Sisodia, and 21 others in the Delhi Liquor Policy case. She outlined nine key reasons for her decision, emphasizing the presumption of judicial impartiality and the necessity of not yielding to political pressures. Justice Sharma asserted that personal doubts expressed by Kejriwal do not meet the threshold for recusal, and that judges attending various legal events does not imply ideological bias. Furthermore, she dismissed claims of conflict of interest regarding her family members, stating that no evidence was provided to demonstrate any impact on her judicial decisions. Justice Sharma warned that recusing herself would create a troubling precedent, suggesting that it could lead to public perception of judges being aligned with specific political ideologies. She concluded that her duty as a judge requires her to resist such pressures and maintain the integrity of the judiciary.
