Arvind Kejriwal has written a letter to Justice Swarna Kanta, stating that he will not appear before her either personally or through his lawyer. In the letter, he said his hope of getting justice from the judge has been shattered.
Kejriwal's Decision to Skip Court
The Delhi Chief Minister added that he has decided to follow Mahatma Gandhi's path of Satyagraha, acting according to his conscience and inner voice. He further maintained that despite his stand, he will retain the legal right to approach the Supreme Court against any decision passed by Justice Swarna Kanta.
Political Reactions
The statement has triggered political reactions, with the development adding a fresh twist to the ongoing legal and political discourse surrounding Kejriwal and his legal challenges. Several political parties have reacted sharply to Kejriwal's move, with some supporting his stance while others criticizing it as an attempt to undermine the judiciary.
Kejriwal's letter comes amid a series of legal battles he is facing, including cases related to the excise policy and other allegations. The decision to boycott the court proceedings is seen as a significant escalation in his legal strategy.
Legal experts have expressed mixed opinions on Kejriwal's approach. Some view it as a legitimate form of protest, while others caution that it could set a problematic precedent for the rule of law.
The Supreme Court has not yet commented on the matter, but legal observers expect the issue to be raised in upcoming hearings. Kejriwal's legal team has indicated that they will continue to pursue all available legal remedies, including the possibility of appealing any adverse orders.
