News India Live, Digital Desk: Chief Minister lodged in Tihar Jail in Delhi Excise Policy Case Arvind Kejriwal The difficulties are showing no sign of abating. Meanwhile, an incident took place in the Delhi High Court which has created a stir in the legal circles. Kejriwal Justice Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma Has expressed deep apprehension regarding his hearing before the bench. Delhi CM informed the court through his legal team that he has doubts about a fair trial.
Why did Kejriwal express apprehension on the court?
Actually, Arvind Kejriwal had filed a petition in the Delhi High Court challenging some decisions of the lower court and the action of the investigating agency. During the hearing, it was argued on behalf of Kejriwal that he felt that due to some decisions given by the bench of Justice Swarn Kanta Sharma in the past, there could be obstacles in his getting justice. Kejriwal did not make direct allegations, but by using the word ‘apprehension’ he definitely raised a question mark on the impartiality of the court.
Heated debate and legal complications in court
During the hearing in the High Court, the atmosphere became tense when the lawyers appearing for the Enforcement Directorate (ED) strongly opposed Kejriwal’s stand. ED said that this is an attempt to put pressure on the court and intimidate the judges. At the same time, Kejriwal’s lawyers argued that as an accused, he has the full constitutional right to express his views and express his doubts.
Justice Swarn Kanta Sharma’s stance
Justice Swarn Kanta Sharma heard this case with utmost seriousness. He clarified that the courts do not work by making assumptions about any particular person, but take decisions on the basis of law and evidence. This is not the first time that Kejriwal or his party has raised questions on the judicial process or the functioning of the investigating agencies, but directly expressing ‘apprehension’ towards a High Court judge is considered a rare case.
Rhetoric intensifies in political circles
After this court incident, Delhi politics has once again heated up. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) says that Kejriwal has been implicated as part of a political conspiracy and he is not getting the opportunity of a fair trial. On the other hand, opposition parties are calling it an insult to the judiciary. Now all eyes are on what stand the High Court takes on Kejriwal’s main petition after this ‘apprehension’ statement.
