Delhi High Court Judge Refuses to Recuse in Kejriwal Excise Policy Case

A Delhi High Court judge, Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, refused to recuse herself from the excise policy case involving former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The judge rejected Kejriwal's plea, stating that his "illusions" were no ground for recusal and that she could not step aside to satisfy an unfounded suspicion. She also criticized Kejriwal for citing a statement by Amit Shah to allege bias, calling it "purely on imagination." The court dismissed his request.
