Justice Sharma's Children are Central Govt. Counsel: Arvind Kejriwal in Fresh Affidavit

Arvind Kejriwal filed a fresh affidavit before the Delhi High Court seeking recusal of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma in the excise policy case.

He stated that the judge’s son and daughter are empanelled as Central government counsel and receive regular case assignments.

Kejriwal argued that since the Solicitor General, appearing against him, plays a role in allocating such work, it creates a “reasonable apprehension” of conflict of interest.

He clarified that he is not alleging actual bias, but emphasized that even the appearance of lack of impartiality is sufficient to seek recusal.
