Kejriwal Seeks Justice Swarana Kant Sharma's Recusal : Live Updates From Delhi High Court | Liquor Policy Case

Aam Aadmi Party head and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has filed an application in the Delhi High Court seeking the recusal of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma from the liquor policy case.

Kejriwal is likely to appear and argue the application himself.

Justice SK Sharma is hearing the revision petition filed by the CBI challenging the trial court's order discharging Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and other accused from the liquor policy case.

Kejriwal has raised apprehensions of bias on the part of Justice Sharma, and has sought her recusal from the case. Earlier, he had made a request to the High Court Chief Justice seeking the assignment of the case to another bench. That request, made on the administrative side, was rejected, saying that the allotment to Justice Sharma was as per the existing roster.

Now, Kejriwal has filed an application on the judicial side.
