The vakalatnama, if any, executed in my favour in this matter may be treated as having been duly discharged," he said.Pathak said his letter should not be seen as a sign of disrespect towards the court and reaffirmed his faith in the Constitution and the judiciary."I take this opportunity to unequivocally affirm my abiding faith in the Constitution of India and in the institutional integrity of the judiciary of this nation," he said.He requested that the letter be taken on record and that the proceedings be conducted in a manner the court considers appropriate and just.Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Atishi questioned why Justice Sharma did not recuse herself from the case after Kejriwal raised concerns, claiming that she had done so in other matters recently.She asked what was different in the present case that a recusal was not being considered.This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
