Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma of the Delhi High Court dismissed a plea from Arvind Kejriwal (national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party) for her recusal from the ongoing liquor excise policy case. In her ruling, Justice Sharma stated that Kejriwal's arguments were based on insinuations and lacked substantial evidence. She emphasized that allowing such a recusal would set a precedent that judges could be pressured by unsubstantiated claims. The judge firmly stated her commitment to the Constitution and the judicial process, asserting that personal attacks on judges threaten the integrity of the legal system. Kejriwal's allegations of conflict of interest, particularly concerning the judge's children being part of a government panel, were also dismissed as irrelevant to the case at hand. Justice Sharma scheduled the next hearing for April 29, reinforcing that the courtroom should not be a platform for mere perceptions without factual backing.
