Arvind Kejriwal, the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and former Chief Minister of Delhi, is set to argue his own case in the Delhi High Court on April 13 regarding the recusal of Justice Swarn Kanta Sharma in the excise policy case. Kejriwal has expressed concerns about potential bias from Justice Sharma, prompting him to request her removal from the case. The court has sought a response from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) regarding this application. The CBI, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, has labeled Kejriwal's allegations as baseless and frivolous. Previously, a trial court had discharged Kejriwal and 22 others, citing a lack of sufficient evidence against them. The next hearing will address these ongoing legal proceedings.
