Kejriwal seeks judge recusal, skips court

Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal has sought the recusal of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma from an ongoing excise policy case, citing bias. After the recusal request, Kejriwal chose not to engage with the court proceedings, turning instead to press conferences to address the matter. This move has drawn criticism, with observers suggesting it sends the wrong signal when legal avenues are bypassed in favor of public statements. The situation raises serious questions about the intersection of legal strategy and political messaging in high-profile Indian cases.
