Kejriwal Skips Court Appearance, Questions Judicial Fairness Amid Legal Row

New Delhi- Arvind Kejriwal has stirred fresh controversy after declining to appear in court and openly questioning the fairness of judicial proceedings in his ongoing legal battle.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, who recently secured relief in a lower court, asserted that the verdict had effectively cleared him of wrongdoing. However, he voiced apprehension about receiving an impartial hearing at the High Court level, pointing to what he described as a potential conflict of interest involving Justice Swarana Kanta.

Kejriwal’s remarks come at a time of heightened political tension, with internal party dynamics also under scrutiny following developments linked to Raghav Chadha. While details surrounding the alleged “betrayal” remain unclear, the issue has added another layer of complexity to the situation.

In his statement, Kejriwal questioned the credibility of the investigation against him, arguing that it lacked merit and was politically motivated. He also suggested that the judicial process must remain free from any perception of bias to maintain public trust.

The comments have sparked debate across political and legal circles, with critics accusing the Delhi chief minister of undermining the judiciary, while supporters argue that raising concerns about transparency is within his rights.

Legal experts note that publicly questioning a sitting judge’s impartiality is a serious matter and could have implications for the proceedings. The case is expected to continue in the coming days as all eyes remain on how the court responds to the allegations.
