After spending 32 months in jail, money laundering case registered by ED against Director and Promoter of M/s Coastal Energen Pvt Ltd, Ahmed AR Buhari has been quashed.

Buhari has finally walked out of prison but he has lost his company.

Any guesses who acquired his company ?

🚨 The BJP calls Soros an “enemy of India.”

But Soros Fund Management quietly parked ~$200 million with a firm co-founded by Union Minister Hardeep Puri’s daughter.

No speeches. No hashtags. No outrage.

#ImportantNews: The controversy over the alleged Delhi liquor-scam case before Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma is no longer confined to courtroom conduct alone. Now more troubling questions of proximity, patronage, conflict-of-interest, and the appearance of bias have come to light.

Several of the 23 dischargees in the case had formally sought Justice Sharma’s recusal from hearing the CBI’s challenge to their discharge. Even then, the judge has so far resisted calls to step aside, even as former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal himself appears in person to argue the recusal application. Arguments are now scheduled for Monday, 13 April 2026.

In my last Case In Point column for @frontline_india, I had already revealed, through an analysis of all the 165 criminal revision petitions of the same category as Kejriwal’s case, that Justice Sharma clearly departed from her usual pattern of handling such matters and had taken an unusually strange interest in this case. That, along with many other details that if read in singularity can be met with a shrug, but when read together, reveals a troubling pattern and credible fears of apprehension of bias in the liquor case. These by itself had raised serious questions. You may read my piece here: https://t.co/GtqFKFhRYY

What has surfaced now makes those questions HARDER to dismiss.

Justice Sharma’s son and daughter—Ishaan Sharma and Shambhavi Sharma—have both been empanelled by the Union government before the Delhi High Court and the Supreme Court.

According to the empanelment details, both siblings were appointed on the very same days: 11 September 2025 for the Delhi High Court panels and 21 November 2025 for the Supreme Court panels.

1. Ishaan Sharma holds panels before both courts, including the highest Group A panel before the Supreme Court and Senior Panel Counsel status before the Delhi High Court.

2. Shambhavi Sharma, with mere four years of enrolment as advocate, too holds panels before both courts: Group C before the Supreme Court and Government Pleader before the Delhi High Court.

3. Ishaan Sharma also held a panel in the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), under the Union Housing Ministry, till at least 2024 (Check: https://t.co/4DsDonRCyE).

4. He also held a panel in the Delhi State Legal Services Authority since 2021 until at least the end of 2024 (Check: https://t.co/KnfZFVJhCs).

Panel counselship is among the most coveted forms of government legal patronage in the system. Ask any advocate and they will tell you how through these positions, the government allocates litigation, visibility, professional standing, and income. But the more important and troubling part is that they are positions held at the pleasure of the very government whose top law officers are now appearing before Justice Sharma in one of the most politically explosive cases in the country. And that is where the conflict sharpens.

Of course, one need not prove an explicit bargain but justice must also be SEEN to be done, especially when it is a case of public interest. The test for seeking recusal of a judge is whether there exists a reasonable apprehension of bias and whether public confidence in the fairness of the process has been impaired. Like I had explained in my column, Indian law on recusal has long recognised that what matters is not just actual bias, but whether a litigant could REASONABLY FEEL that justice may NOT appear to be done. Here, several of the 23 dischargees feel justice may not be done impartially.

And now this issue of one advocate, who happens to be the son of a judge, accumulating large number of panels within a relatively short post-enrolment period as an advocate. Ask any lawyer and they will tell you how many more accomplished, brilliant persons, with many more years as an advocate have failed to secure a panel through the formal process. The concerns are many.

In this case, the question is whether a judge can continue to hear a politically sensitive challenge brought by the CBI, while her kin hold multiple Union government panels and receive work from the same legal establishment whose top officers allocate cases to them and are now appearing before her?

Note this: as per one RTI reply I received, Ishaan Sharma was allocated 2,487 cases in 2023, 1,784 cases in 2024, and 1,633 cases in 2025. In both 2024 and 2025, he was allocated more case files than even Zoheb Hossain, the top, most publicly visible Enforcement Directorate lawyer—by 91 in 2024 and by 582 in 2025. This of course suggests the sustained and substantial allocation of state work before the son. The allocation is done by the topmost in the legal system.

Also, this is not the first time that such questions of potential conflict of interest have arisen. In September 2024, I had highlighted the case of Padmesh Mishra, whose appointments across multiple union government and Rajasthan government positions drew scrutiny after his father, Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra, was elevated to the Supreme Court. Check: https://t.co/TVr35PmPx3

The unease then was the same as it is now: when the children of sitting judges begin to accumulate government panels and positions in unusual concentration, something a regular lawyer, perhaps much more brilliant and of more history of practice, can only dream of, particularly after or around the parent’s rise within the judiciary, the issue is of institutional credibility.

And no one really needs to state that that credibility is already under strain. Recently, Justice Manmohan of the Supreme Court himself publicly flagged corruption in the appointment of panel counsels by the Union government, questioning whether such appointments are really being made on merit at all. In a system where even a sitting Supreme Court judge is warning that panel-counsel appointments may be infected by extraneous considerations, the appearance of conflict in the present case becomes still harder to shrug away. Check: https://t.co/RGSSDK7ekf

Seen in that light, the present controversy is again not whether Justice Sharma is actually biased. It is about whether the institution can credibly insist that there is nothing to see here. The CBI has just filed an affidavit supporting Justice Sharma. A judge who I have documented, as per her own orders, to show unusual interest in a politically sensitive matter now finds herself in a position where her own kind hold/held as many as SIX government panels between them, while their bosses continue to appear before her. Even if one were to assume the absence of any actual impropriety, does this arrangement augur well for the appearance of judicial independence, especially in this case? The question is whether this not enough evidence of apprehension of bias that should suffice for a recusal.

That is the question the High Court ought to have confronted with seriousness. Instead, by resisting recusal in these circumstances, the judge is unfortunately deepening this very suspicion that it should have avoided at all costs, or at least for the sake of institution.

BIG BETRAYAL TO ODISHA.

NEVER FORGET, NEVER FORGIVE

The world’s LARGEST STEEL PLANT, which was supposed to be built in Odisha is now being set up in Andhra Pradesh.

ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel is GONE and so is a MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY for Odisha.

In 2023, Naveen Patnaik signed an MoU with Nippon Steel for this very project.

It was meant to bring jobs, investment & industrial growth to Odisha.

Today, it stands relocated.

Ask yourself:
What did the govt do in the meantime?
Because this is not just about losing a plant.
It’s about losing the future.
Our minerals will now be transported out through pipelines.
Our resources will fuel industries in another state.

Odisha is left behind

This is how resource-rich states are kept poor.

Extraction here.
Value creation elsewhere.

And the “DOUBLE ENGINE Govt”?

Silent. Passive. Ineffective.

This is not just a FAILURE.

This is a BETRAYAL of Odisha’s potential.

People of Odisha will give you a BEFITTING ANSWER.

I feel bad for BJP. They keep scoring self goals. Spreading misinformation about oil bonds has been used as a cover by BJP to extort huge amounts of funds from Indian citizens. Let us get to the bottom of this.

If we take the data BJP has shared, this is what it says:

Average cost of crude oil (per barrel)
2005-2014: $86 (MMS)
2015-2025: $67 (Modi)

Average cost of petrol (Rupees per liter)
2005-2014: 54 (MMS)
2015-2025: 82 (Modi)

Crude oil was 22% cheaper under BJP, yet petrol was 52% more expensive!

What happened? Taxes are a big part of the Modi government's petroleum strategy (other factors impact prices too).

BJP will keep misleading the public about oil bonds being a reason for high fuel prices but they hope that you don't find out the full picture.

Keep reading!

BJP's oil bond figure of 3.23 lakh crore (more on that later) should be seen in the following context.

Between 2015 and 2025, the petroleum sector has generated 66 lakh crores in revenues for the exchequer. According to the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (or PPAC), the Central Government collected 40 lakh crores of the total. 34 lakh crores were in taxes and duties. While 6 lakh crores were dividends.

The BJP wants you to believe that your high petrol and diesel prices are because of the 3.23 lakh crores of principal and interest payments associated with oil bonds issues by the UPA government (and the Vajpayee government). Total silence about taxes and duties!

So, you have to praise the Modi government because they spent 3.32 lakh crores out of the 40 lakh crores they collected from all of us. If you are not outraged by this, then you are only interested in supporting BJP blindly. That is your choice.

But, the story doesn't end there. There is another twist. The 3.23 lakh crore "credit card bill" that the BJP claims as UPA's legacy is a half truth:

1. The first oil bonds were issued by the NDA 1 government under Atal Bihari Vajpayee (9000 crore).

2. The UPA Government paid interest of 53,163 crores between 2009 and 2014. This interest was on the bonds issued both by the Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh governments. I bet you didn't hear Dr. Singh constantly complain about the Vajpayee government's oil bond.

3. That means the amount of interest and principal repaid by the Modi government is much less than 3.23 lakh crores.

But we paid 34 lakh crores in taxes and duties for the central government alone. Add to that taxes and duties for state governments and the dividends issued mostly for the central government and you begin to fully understand how the fleecing of the Indian consumer and taxpayer is engineered under the cover of UPA oil bonds, which are a tiny fraction of the oil sector's Rs. 66 lakh crore contribution to the government exchequer.

Don't let BJP get away with fake narratives. Time to reclaim the truth...and the country.

Not every inspiring sporting story ends with a trophy. Over the last few days, Lakshya Sen has shown India what courage, resilience and belief truly look like. His run to another All England final, through extraordinary wins and immense physical pain, has been about far more than a result. He has reminded young India that greatness lies not only in winning, but in the honesty of effort, the dignity of the fight and the strength to keep believing. I am Proud of you, @lakshya_sen . Very, very proud.
