Did the court apply the wrong legal standard in the Kejriwal case? The refusal of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma to recuse has sparked a sharp legal debate. While the court held that there was no concrete proof of bias, prominent voices like Prashant Bhushan and Karuna Nundy argue that the law doesn’t require proving actual bias—only a reasonable apprehension of it. So, was the correct legal test applied, or does this raise deeper questions about judicial fairness? @ArvindKejriwal @AamAadmiParty @msisodia #delhihighcourt #legalnews #latestnews

When elections are around the corner, every move matters—and this one raises serious questions. Nearly 7 lakh new voters added just days before polling in West Bengal—routine revision or something more? The controversy over Form 6 entries has now reached the Supreme Court of India, with CJI Surya Kant emphasizing due process while acknowledging the gravity of the issue. At the heart of the debate lies electoral integrity—with concerns over transparency, uniformity, and whether such large-scale additions could influence the outcome.

When power meets the bench, perception isn’t enough—proof is.

From calling out “manufactured bias” to rejecting the idea of an “Agni Pariksha” for judges, this order goes beyond a simple dismissal—it’s a strong assertion of institutional independence. Now the big question: Will Kejriwal knock on the doors of the Supreme Court of India next? @ArvindKejriwal @msisodia @AamAadmiParty #Supremecourtofindia #LegalNews #latestnews #judiciary #delhihighcourt

The wait is finally over—and the verdict has everyone talking. After an intense hearing, Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma has made it clear: she will not recuse from hearing the Delhi Excise Policy case involving Arvind Kejriwal. This wasn’t just about one case anymore—the Court said it had become a question of the institution’s integrity itself.

From claims about public events to questions over family members in the legal profession—every argument was addressed and firmly rejected. The Court drew a sharp line: perception cannot override proof, and litigants cannot create narratives that undermine the judiciary.

What’s your take—strong stand for judicial independence or a controversial call? @ArvindKejriwal @AamAadmiParty @ranjan000008 @msisodia #Delhihighcourt #legalnews #breakingnews #latestnews
