Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday approached the Supreme Court, requesting that the CBI's appeal against his discharge in the excise policy case be transferred from the Delhi High Court bench of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma to another judge.
Kejriwal, along with former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, also challenged the High Court's summons in the Supreme Court. Sisodia filed a separate petition seeking to contest the summons issued against him in the same matter.
The move came after the trial court, on February 27, discharged Kejriwal, Sisodia, and 21 others in the alleged liquor policy case, sharply criticising the CBI for filing a chargesheet that "could not survive judicial scrutiny" and was "discredited in its entirety".
