Delhi High Court judge Swarana Kanta Sharma recuses herself from a case related to the Delhi excise policy in which Arvind Kejriwal and others are accused, according to reports. The recusal follows allegations raised over potential bias and conflict of interest, with the matter discussed in connection with concerns raised by the Aam Aadmi Party and statements made around the judge’s conduct. While the judge steps back from the excise policy case, she continues with separate proceedings involving contempt. Reports say she initiates contempt proceedings against Arvind Kejriwal and other leaders, linked to alleged vilification or derogatory remarks attributed to them on social media. The reports indicate that the contempt action is connected to comments made that are considered to target or disparage the judge. The sources also emphasize that the recusal applies to the excise policy case, while the contempt process proceeds independently. The decisions are part of ongoing legal proceedings connected to the excise policy and related allegations.
