Delhi HC judge mentions 'agnipariksha', 'catch-22 situation' while rejecting Kejriwal's recusal plea

Delhi HC Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, while rejecting Arvind Kejriwal's plea seeking her recusal, said that the AAP chief has created a catch-22 situation. "If the Court recused, it would validate his claims, and if it did not, he could still question the outcome," she said. She asked why a judge must go through "agnipariksha" over an accused's apprehensions.
