Kejriwal Refuses to Appear Before HC as Recusal Plea Denied 'Excise Case'

Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal has decided not to appear before the High Court in the Delhi excise policy case, expressing complete distrust in Justice Swarana Kanta, according to party sources. 

In a letter to Justice Swarana Kanta, Kejriwal stated that he will not appear before her, either personally or through a lawyer. 

He said he has chosen to follow the path of



Mahatma Gandhi’s Satyagraha.

“My hope of receiving justice from Justice Swarana Kanta Ji has been shattered. Therefore, I have decided to follow the path of Gandhiji’s Satyagraha. Heeding the voice of my conscience, I have made a decision,” Kejriwal said in the letter, as per AAP sources. 

“I reserve the right to approach the Supreme Court to appeal against her verdict,” he added.
