NEW DELHI: AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal has submitted a representation to the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court seeking the transfer of the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) revision petition in the Delhi excise policy case from the Bench of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma.
In his representation, former Delhi CM Kejriwal requested Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya - who is the master of the roster -that the case be reassigned to a different Bench of the Delhi High Court.
The CBI's revision plea assail the order of the Rouse Avenue Court discharging all 23 accused, including Kejriwal and former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, in the case relating to the now-scrapped excise policy introduced by the then AAP-led Delhi government.
Earlier this week, a single-judge Bench of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma had issued notice to Kejriwal, Sisodia and other respondents on the CBI's petition assailing the trial court's decision to discharge the accused.
