Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday refrained from commenting on legal proceedings after the Delhi High Court dismissed a plea seeking the recusal of a judge from hearing a case involving him.
Speaking briefly to the media following the court’s decision, Kejriwal said, “I have made my submission in court and would not like to comment,” maintaining a cautious stance on the matter.
The recusal plea had sought the withdrawal of the presiding judge from the case, raising concerns over impartiality. However, the High Court rejected the request, allowing the judge to continue hearing the matter. The details of the plea and the grounds cited have not been publicly elaborated in full, but the court’s dismissal effectively clears the way for further proceedings without a change in the bench.
Kejriwal’s response reflects a measured approach, avoiding public statements on a matter that remains sub judice. Legal experts note that such restraint is often adopted to prevent influencing ongoing judicial processes or inviting further scrutiny.
The case is part of a series of legal challenges involving the AAP leader in recent months, which have kept him in the political spotlight. While the dismissal of the recusal plea is a procedural development, it is seen as significant in determining how the case will move forward in the High Court.
Meanwhile, political reactions have begun to emerge, with opposition parties closely watching the developments and the AAP maintaining that it will continue to pursue its legal remedies through appropriate channels.
As the matter proceeds, attention will remain on the court’s hearings and any subsequent rulings, which could have broader political and legal implications in the coming weeks.
