Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia Request New Bench In Liquor Policy Case

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia have formally requested the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court to reassign their ongoing excise policy case to a different judicial bench. The case, which has garnered significant attention, involves allegations of corruption linked to the Delhi government's liquor policy. Kejriwal and Sisodia, along with other accused parties, argue that a new bench may lead to a fairer hearing of their case. This move comes amid increasing scrutiny and pressure regarding the conduct of the current proceedings, which are presided over by Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma. The Delhi excise policy has been a contentious issue, with various political implications and legal ramifications that continue to unfold. The outcome of this case could have far-reaching effects on the Aam Aadmi Party's governance and its political strategies moving forward.
