Delhi High Court to Hear Kejriwal’s Recusal Request in Excise Policy Case on April 13

The Delhi High Court has set an April 13 hearing date to deliberate on Arvind Kejriwal’s request for a judge’s recusal in the excise policy case.

The Delhi High Court has officially placed on record a plea filed by Arvind Kejriwal requesting that Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma recuse herself from the ongoing excise policy case. The court has scheduled a hearing for April 13 to address the matter.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has formally opposed the motion, dismissing the allegations presented by Kejriwal’s counsel as entirely baseless. The legal proceedings center on a previous trial court order that granted a discharge to Kejriwal and several other individuals involved in the case. The High Court is currently reviewing the validity of that discharge order as part of its ongoing judicial oversight.
