Delhi HC judge starts contempt against Kejriwal, then steps away from excise case
DElhi heights margaret court adjudicate justness Swarana Kanta Sharma on th said she would not hear the CBI’s appeal against the trial court order discharging former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and 22 others in the excise policy case, following the initiation of contempt proceedings against Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Durgesh Pathak, Sanjay Singh and Saurabh Bharadwaj over allegedly defamatory and contemptuous social media posts against her.The judge observed that the law does not permit a judge who has initiated contempt proceedings in relation to a matter to continue hearing that very matter.“I reiterate that i stand by the recusal order. I do not change the word. I had to stand up for this institution and I had. This case will be heard by any other bench and I will draw contempt proceedings because as per law the judge who draws contempt proceedings cannot hear the main case. Recusal stands as it is," Justice Sharma said.
