Arvind Kejriwal Bail Stay Order: Netizens Allege Conflict of Interest, Claim Judge's Brother Was on ED Lawyers' Panel
A section of people on social media are claiming that Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain, who stayed Arvind Kejriwal's bail, should have recused himself from hearing the matter due to alleged conflict of interest.
AAP leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, arrested in connection with a money laundering case linked to now-scrapped liquor policy, had been granted bail by a trial court on June 20. However, the Delhi High Court stayed the bail order. The stay order was passed by Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain. A section of people on social media are claiming that Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain should have recused himself from hearing the matter due to alleged conflict of interest. They claim Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain has a brother named Anurag Jain. Anurag Jain was one of the lawyers representing the ED in the court, the netizens further claim, while alleging a conflict of interest.
