One of the main grounds in Chaitanya’s contempt case is a post made by Das on X and AAP leaders’ response to that post.
On April 9, Das raised allegations of conflict of interest on Justice Sharma’s part as she was hearing the CBI’s challenge to Kejriwal, Sisodia and others’ discharge in the excise policy case. Das said that Justice Sharma’s son and daughter were empanelled by the Central government before the High Court and the Supreme Court.
On this X post, Kejriwal asked, “Is this true? V v explosive”. Bharadwaj and Rai also quoted the tweet to raise questions of impartiality.
The original post by Das as well as the quote tweets by Kejriwal, Bharadwaj and Rai are still available.
