File | Photo Credit: The Hindu Delhi High Court judge Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma on Monday (April 20, 2026) rejected former CM Arvind Kejriwal’s recusal plea in liquor policy case, saying that, “justice is not achieved by bowing to pressure”. In the pronouncement that lasted for more than an hour, Justice Sharma said a litigant cannot be allowed to judge a judge without any material, and judges cannot recuse themselves to satisfy a litigant’s unfounded apprehension of bias.
