Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi and leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has taken a firm stance regarding his ongoing case linked to the Delhi liquor policy. He has requested that a different judge, other than Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma, preside over the hearings. In a letter addressed to Justice Sharma, Kejriwal expressed his belief that he would not receive fair justice in her court, stating that the hearings do not meet the essential principle that 'justice must not only be done but must also be seen to be done.' He emphasized his commitment to Gandhian principles of 'satyagraha,' asserting that he would not participate in the proceedings either personally or through legal counsel. Kejriwal's refusal to appear before Justice Sharma comes after she declined to recuse herself from the case, prompting him to challenge her decision.
