Her children representing Centre: Kejriwal's files additional affidavit as he seeks Delhi HC judge's recusal

Former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has filed an additional affidavit before the Delhi high court reiterating his request of seeking Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma’s recusal from hearing CBI’s appeal against their discharge in the excise policy case, contending that the judge’s children are empanelled with the Centre and are allocated cases by Solicitor General (SG) Tushar Mehta, who is contesting the appeal on behalf of the agency.
In the affidavit filed a day after Justice Sharma reserved her verdict on the applications, Kejriwal stated that her son is empanelled as a Group A counsel representing the Centre before the Supreme Court, while her daughter is empanelled as a Group C counsel representing the Centre before the Supreme Court and also serves as a pleader for the Centre before the Delhi High Court.
He further noted that both are assigned matters by the SG, who is opposing the recusal plea before Justice Sharma and representing the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the case.

The affidavit, filed on Tuesday, stated that the apprehension of bias arising from this situation is direct, serious, and cannot be overlooked, as the same law officer and legal establishment representing the CBI before the judge is also part of the institutional framework responsible for allocating government work and case assignments to her children.
