The Delhi High Court will deliver its verdict at 4:30 pm today on former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's plea seeking Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma's recusal in the liquor policy case.
Kejriwal and others have been seeking Justice Sharma's recusal, citing that her children are empanelled with the Centre and have been allocated cases by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who is contesting the appeal on behalf of the agency.
The CBI, however, has opposed Kejriwal's plea, arguing that accepting his contention would set a precedent that could effectively disqualify judges across the country from hearing cases involving governments or political figures.
The agency has also stated that Justice Sharma's son and daughter have neither dealt with nor assisted in any matter related to the excise case at any stage, and have not been involved in it in any capacity.
