Kejriwal Challenges Judiciary: AAP Leader's Bold Stance in High Court

Arvind Kejriwal, leader of the Aam Aadmi Party, has announced he will not engage in proceedings in the excise case before Delhi High Court Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma. In a letter, Kejriwal expressed unresolved concerns about impartiality and a miscarriage of justice.

Kejriwal, in his communication, emphasized the principle that justice should not only be done but also seen to be done, highlighting a perceived bias. He intends to approach the Supreme Court, iterating his decision respects judicial processes, not driven by ego or disrespect.

He also addressed broader judicial implications, maintaining respect for the institution while expressing doubts about receiving fair treatment in Judge Sharma's court. His stance, he insists, is not against the judiciary but focuses on ensuring impartial justice.
