Arvind Kejriwal, former Chief Minister of Delhi, has filed an affidavit requesting the recusal of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma from his case, citing potential bias due to the empanelment of the judge's children as central government counsel. He argues that this connection raises serious concerns regarding impartiality in the ongoing investigation led by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

• 01Kejriwal's affidavit cites family connections of Justice Sharma to the central government as grounds for recusal.
• 02Justice Sharma's children hold significant roles as government counsel, raising concerns of bias.

• 04The affidavit stresses that the perception of bias is critical, even without actual bias being alleged.

The outcome of this recusal request could significantly affect the judicial proceedings involving Kejriwal, potentially influencing public perception of the CBI's investigation.
