Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appeared before the Delhi High Court on Monday in connection with the ongoing excise policy (liquor scam) case, drawing significant attention to the high-profile legal battle. During the hearing, Kejriwal informed the court of his intention to present arguments personally, as part of a plea seeking the recusal of the presiding judge from the matter. The case is linked to allegations surrounding irregularities in the now-scrapped Delhi liquor policy.
The court took the application on record and scheduled further proceedings for a later date, while investigative agencies opposed the plea and termed the arguments as lacking merit. The hearing is part of a broader legal process involving appeals against a lower court’s decision that had earlier discharged Kejriwal and other accused individuals. The development marks another crucial phase in the politically sensitive case, which continues to remain under close public and judicial scrutiny.
