‘Serious apprehension of bias’: Arvind Kejriwal seeks judge’s recusal

What Happened

Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal requested Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma's recusal from his liquor policy case, citing concerns of judicial bias. Kejriwal argued that the judge's court consistently upheld investigating agencies' arguments and granted their prayers. He analyzed criminal cases before the judge and claimed political bias, noting expedited proceedings only in his case and one involving a BJP opponent. The Solicitor General rejected these claims as baseless. The court reserved judgment on recusal applications from six accused persons.
