Arvind Kejriwal, the former Chief Minister of Delhi and national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has decided not to appear before the Delhi High Court in the ongoing excise policy case, citing a loss of faith in Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma. In a letter to the judge, Kejriwal stated that he would follow the principles of Satyagraha, inspired by Mahatma Gandhi, as he believes he cannot receive justice from her. This decision follows the High Court's rejection of his petition for Justice Sharma's recusal, which he claimed was necessary due to her alleged bias in handling related matters. Justice Sharma firmly rejected these allegations, emphasizing her commitment to impartiality and the independence of the judiciary. She stated that justice must not yield to pressure and that she would adjudicate without bias. Kejriwal's allegations included concerns over Justice Sharma's past conduct and her participation in events linked to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Despite his protest, he has left open the possibility of appealing to the Supreme Court if necessary.
