The CBI opposed recusal pleas by Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and others in the Delhi excise policy case before the Delhi High Court. It rejected allegations linking Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma to ideological affiliations, calling the claims unfounded.
Supreme Court Justice Manmohan said High Court judges cannot work independently if they are under constant fear of transfers. He called for a detailed review of the collegium system and raised concerns over government litigation and panel lawyer appointments.
