Judicial misconduct is invisibilized in India by design. You write school text on judicial misconduct, CJI will teach you a lesson. You ask for recusal and you are a malicious litigant. Why call Arvind Kejriwal accused despite discharge? Why play to gallery? Who is being pleased

Delhi High Court pronounces order on AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal’s recusal plea against Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, while pronouncing the order, observed that as she began writing the judgment, “the courtroom had fallen silent,” leaving behind the solemn weight of her oath to the Constitution of India. She states that her silence as a judge itself had come under scrutiny, and that the issue at hand concerned not just her personal fairness, but the integrity of the judicial institution as a whole. The judge remarked that the easier course would have been to step aside without adjudicating the application, but she chose to decide the matter, as it involved the larger question of the institution. The Court noted that the task was made more difficult by the contradictory stands taken during arguments while it was asserted that there was no doubt on the judge’s integrity, a request was still made to transfer the case on the basis of a perceived apprehension of bias rather than any actual bias. The judge further observed that such a plea, in effect, places the judicial institution itself under scrutiny.

Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma is not biased. She herself heard the case of bias implied against Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma and defended Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma and then came to the conclusion that Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma is not biased

Justice Sharma: The applicant (Kejriwal) has created a win win situationn for himself.
