Arvind Kejriwal News Live Updates: Next hearing on Monday
Earlier, former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and AAP leader Manish Sisodia had written to Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma saying that they will not participate in the proceedings before her. (File photo)Arvind Kejriwal Hearing Highlights: The Delhi High Court Wednesday adjourned the hearing of revision plea filed by the CBI against the discharge order passed in favour of former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and others in the excise policy case. The court will now hear the matter on May 4. The court has also listed for the same date the ED’s plea seeking expunging of remarks made by the special judge against the agency.
Boycott: Kejriwal had written a letter to Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, saying that he will not participate in the proceedings pending before the judge. “I have lost hope of getting justice from Justice Swarana Kanta. Therefore, I have decided to follow the path of Satyagraha as shown by Mahatma Gandhi,” he said. After Arvind Kejriwal, AAP leader Manish Sisodia also wrote to Justice Sharma informing that he too will go unrepresented before her court.

Recusal plea: While rejecting the recusal plea, Justice Sharma said, “If I were to accept these (recusal) applications, it would set a troubling precedent”. She also said that every unproven and unfounded accusation of bias or partiality is not merely put on an individual judge but also casts aspersions on the collective integrity of the institution of the judiciary itself. The judge said that the court will stand up for itself and for the institution when such standing is required, though it may appear difficult.
