Kejriwal is likely to appear personally before the court on Monday seeking recusal of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma in the case.What happened in the previous hearing? Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta appearing for the CBI had earlier objected after Senior Advocate N Hariharan, appearing for Kejriwal, had sought more time to file the reply. “Hon’ble court may not grant more than one week, we have an urgency. It is an exceptionable order. We seriously object to the order. It cannot remain on the record even for a second more than what is necessary,” SG Mehta said. “Let them file a reply”, the court replied. Senior Advocate Hariharan questioned the objection raised against the time sought, stating that he was unable to understand what prejudice would be caused to them. “It is an unfair request after getting an unfair order,” SG Mehta contended. To this, Senior Advocate Hariharan said, “This is not fair that you term the court as unfair, you term the proceedings as unfair, everything is unfair”.Story continues below this adObservations stayed: On March 9, the Delhi High Court stayed the trial court’s observations made against the investigating officer including the direction recommending departmental action against him, observing that the trial court’s remarks on the CBI’s investigating officer in the excise policy case were prima facie foundationally misconceived.
