Kejriwal Argues His Plea For Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma's Recusal : Live Updates From Delhi High Court | Liquor Policy Case

Kejriwal: Is court ke samne 5 pehle cases aa chuke hain, mera case aya tha whethr my arrest was legal. Baaki bails thi. Is court ki observations almost amounted to judgments. Mera case jo tha, it related to illegal arrest. Limited matter court had to decide was whether IO has reasons to believe. Court was not required to put weight behind reasons or give a final verdict. It appears court gave a final judgments in just two hearings.

Kejriwal: In Kanak Lata case, SC held that earlier strong observations may create reasonable apprehension… i would like to rely on another case.

Kejriwal: Law is simple. It is whether apprehension… here exist in my mind real grave and reasonable apprehension that this petition will not get a fair hearing. Mai 10 grounds rakh raha hu.

Kejriwal: I am only requesting same parity as ED, especially when my apprehensions are on much stronger ground.

Kejriwal: Satyendar jain ke case me, 18 ghante sunwayi ho chuki thi, 6 din tak. Tab tak ED ko koi apprehension nai hui. Aakhri tareekh pe suddenly apprehension hui, matter was transferred. This courtgranted judgment in ED favour. Us case mw aur mere case me boht similarities hain. Question is not of integrity of judge, question is apprehension in mind of party. In that case this court relied on SC judgment.

Kejriwal: Unhone kaha hain judge ka bias hona zaroori nahi hain lekin agr party ke mind me reasonable doubt hai then it is case of recusal. I have apprehension in my mind. Meri choti si objection hai. Meri apprehension aur ye recusal application is between court and party. Cbi has no locus in this. Cbi should not be made a party.

Kejriwal: Basic principle of recusal, SC ki judgment me diya gaya hain.

He refers to a judgment.

Kejriwal: Jab ye order aya, mera dil baith gaya. I had doubts whether court is biased and if i will get justice here. This is why i wrote to CJ that case may be transferred to any other bench. Then i filed this application.

Kejriwal: March 9 ko is court me pehli sunwayi hui. Is court me cbi ke alawa koi aur party maujood nahi thi. Sab party ke bina ex parte bina notice, this court passed an order. Jo trial court ne 3 November se February ke beech me daily basis pe sunwayi krke order pass kara tha, usko 5 min ki sunwayi ne is court ne prima facie galt declare kar diya.

Court: Recusal pe hum sidha aaenge. Mai file padh chuki hu.

Kejriwal: Trial court ne teen mahine day to day hearings kari. Evidence pdhe aur discharge kiya. Court ne bola ye sab pehle se premeditated tha, hume fasaya gaya. CBI ne revision file kari.
