Arvind Kejriwal (former Chief Minister of Delhi) has written to Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma of the Delhi High Court, stating that he and his counsel will not participate in further proceedings in the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) appeal against his discharge in the excise policy case. This decision follows the dismissal of his recusal request, which he argues left him with unresolved concerns regarding the judge's impartiality. In his four-page letter, Kejriwal expressed that the court's ruling interpreted his legitimate concerns as personal attacks, undermining his confidence in receiving a fair hearing. He highlighted that the judgment's language suggested accusations against him and warned against the court being intimidated by political litigants. Kejriwal's case stems from a February 27 ruling where the trial court discharged him and others, stating the CBI's evidence did not establish a prima facie case. The CBI subsequently appealed this decision. Kejriwal also noted instances where judges recused themselves due to potential conflicts of interest, contrasting them with his current situation, which he believes warrants similar action. His refusal to appear is rooted in a commitment to justice and his principles, as he feels his participation would compromise his integrity.
