What Delhi HC judge Swarana Kanta Sharma said about Arvind Kejriwal's recusal plea in liquor policy case

A Delhi High Court judge has stated that mere apprehension of bias cannot be a ground for recusal. She emphasized that judges cannot abdicate their responsibility in the face of allegations and that personal attacks on a judge are attacks on the institution itself. The judge said allegations and insinuations cannot replace proof required for recusal, and that allowing recusal would make the judicial process vulnerable to allegations.
