A Delhi High Court bench led by Swarana Kanta Sharma on Monday started delivering its verdict on pleas by Arvind Kejriwal and others seeking her recusal from the excise policy case, while placing additional submissions by the AAP chief on record.
While pronouncing the order, Justice Sharma made a series of pointed observations on the recusal plea and its implications for the judiciary. Here are the top quotes from her verdict:
“Now, it is a Catch-22 situation of seeking a recusal. In this case, I have been placed in such a position where whether I recuse or do not recuse, questions will arise.”
“The applicant (Kejriwal) has created a win-win situation for himself.”
