Kejriwal, Sisodia move SC seeking change of judge in excise policy case

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal and senior party leader Manish Sisodia have moved the Supreme Court seeking a change of the judge hearing the CBI’s plea in the Delhi High Court against their discharge in the excise policy case, the party said in a statement on Sunday. The top court is likely to take up the matter on Monday, an insider said.

The move comes after the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court, D.K. Upadhyaya, declined a request by Mr. Kejriwal, Mr. Sisodia, and others on March 11 to transfer the case from the court of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma to an “impartial Bench”.
