At least read the law before tweeting. This take reeks of bias.
No one is “choosing a judge” here. The law is very clear, even a reasonable apprehension of bias is enough. You don’t need to prove anything beyond that because justice has to be seen to be done.
There are specific, detailed concerns on record, this isn’t some vague allegation. And stepping back while accepting consequences is a recognised legal position.
Reducing it to “if I don’t like the judge, I won’t participate” is just a convenient distortion. Not law, just narrative.

What Arvind Kejriwal is effectively arguing is startling: If the judge is not acceptable to me, I will not participate.
A litigant cannot reserve for himself the right to choose the Bench, question integrity without proof, and then walk away when the court rejects those claims.
This reduces the justice system to a spectacle, where allegations are made freely, institutions are pressured publicly, and accountability is treated as optional.
The judiciary must draw a firm line. Not for one politician but to make it clear that courts cannot be browbeaten, selectively respected, or treated like forums of convenience.

Have you actually read the Constitution and the law? From what I understand, Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) does provide for recusal where required. Even recently, in a matter before the Hon’ble Supreme Court, Justice K.V. Vishwanathan chose to recuse himself after realising there could be a possible perception of bias, even though the judgment had already been reserved. Also, courts have repeatedly allowed petitioners-in-person to argue their own cases. That’s a well-recognised practice and clearly supported by law.
This is completely unacceptable - Kejriwal wants to make a mockery of our Courts and our Judges - the Hon’ble Judge in question is one of the finest and is being persistently harassed.
I am sure the Hon’ble Chief Justice of the DHC will put an end to this charade.
Kejriwal must not be allowed to even enter the sacred premises of the Hon’ble High Court and should reserve his theatrics solely for politics : where clearly he has lost all remaining credibility.

#StoryAlert🚨
The CBI's challenge to Arvind Kejriwal and 22 others' discharge in the alleged liquor scam has opened up deeper and troubling questions about the High Court judge hearing the case, Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma.
I analysed orders in all the 165 cases (criminal revision petitions) filed since January 1 to March 17 this year in the Delhi High Court. Under the new roster effective January 5, six judges were assigned criminal revision petitions, including Justice Sharma, who also now exclusively holds the roster of criminal cases relating to sitting/former MPs/MLAs.
Of the 165, Justice Sharma’s board included at least 17 such Criminal Revision Petitions (like CBI-Kejriwal case) during this period. The pattern that emerges in these cases is striking. A longish🧵. Stay with me.
