क्या हम किसी dictatorship में हैं? क्या नियम क़ानून देखने वाला कोई नहीं बचा है?

कैसे महिलाओं और बच्चियों को पुरुष पुलिसकर्मी बिना वजह बुरी तरह पीट रहे हैं।

क्या ये लीगल है?

क्या कोई कोर्ट इसका संज्ञान लेगा?

#BREAKING: A new turn in the Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma’s recusal case. Former Delhi Chief Minister @ArvindKejriwal has filed an additional affidavit in his application seeking recusal.

Relying on my report and RTI response, Kejriwal points to the empanelment and work-allocation figures concerning Justice Sharma’s children, Ishaan Sharma and Shambhavi Sharma. “I state that subsequent to the filing of my recusal application, certain material facts came to my knowledge when they were released in the public domain on 9th April, 2026 by a Legal Reporter, Mr. Saurav Dass... I state that these are not nominal or honorary post awarded by the Central Government. These are continuing professional engagements under the Central Government, carrying with them Government briefs, Government work, Court visibility and financial benefit arising from the allocation of legal work by Central Government,” he states.

Pointing out that the Solicitor General of India allocates cases to her children, the dischargee states that the political sensitivity of the case “materially sharpens the conflict and amplifies the apprehension of bias”.

“But in a criminal case of this nature, where the prosecuting agency is the CBI, where the Central Government’s highest law officers appear against me, and where the immediate family members of the Hon’ble Judge hold multiple live Central Government panel engagements and receive Government work through the same legal establishment and law officer, the apprehension becomes direct, grave and impossible for me to ignore.”

Kejriwal has also sought time for oral arguments, stating that the Court had not indicated it would conclude the hearing on the same day by sitting beyond court hours. He has further asserted his right to make rejoinder submissions.

#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.

The prolonged stagnation of water in the basement is no longer merely a maintenance lapse; it has escalated into a significant structural safety hazard. (1/2)

सरकार ने 4PM जैसे नेशनल चैनल को बिना किसी कारण बंद करवाकर ये साफ़ कर दिया है कि उसे जनता के सवालों से डर लगता है।

जो भी सत्ता से सवाल करेगा, उसकी आवाज़ ये सरकार बंद करा देगी – क्या यही है ‘लोकतंत्र’? मीडिया को दबाना मतलब जनता की आवाज़ को कुचलना है। लोकतंत्र सवाल और जवाबदेही से ही चलता है, तानाशाही से नहीं।

Why is BJP IT Cell so annoyed with my video?

Just because I challenged these people to say “Bhartiya Ekta Zindabad”

They can’t say that because they have the same agenda as terrorists. They want to break India and divide Indians into Hindus and Muslims.

अब दिल्ली नगर निगम में भी बीजेपी की सरकार है…

दिल्ली का गवर्नेंस मॉडल अपने आप में एक उलझी पहेली है।

सामान्य जनजीवन से जुड़े रोज़मर्रा के मसलों में भी कहीं केंद्र, कहीं राज्य और कहीं नगर निगम का दख़ल है।

कूड़े की सफ़ाई के लिए नगर निगम ज़िम्मेदार है, पर सीवर की सफाई दिल्ली सरकार का ज़िम्मा है।

पाँचवी तक के स्कूल नगर निगम के हैं, पर छठी से बारहवीं तक के स्कूल दिल्ली सरकार चलाती है।

सड़कें बनाना और मेंटेन करना तीनों की ज़िम्मेदारी है। पतली सड़क/गली नगर निगम, चौड़ी सड़क दिल्ली सरकार, और सबसे ज़्यादा चौड़ी केंद्र सरकार के ज़िम्मे है।

ज़मीन पूरी तरह से केंद्र सरकार के नियंत्रण में है, पर हाँ बिल्डिंग का नक़्शा नगर निगम पास करता है।

अधिकारियों से काम लेना दिल्ली सरकार और नगर निगम की ज़िम्मेदारी है, पर इन्हीं अधिकारियों की जवाबदेही केंद्र सरकार के प्रति है।

पिछले दस सालों में केंद्र की बीजेपी सरकार ने दिल्ली के गवर्नेंस को और भी ज़्यादा उलझा दिया।

2014 से केंद्र में बीजेपी की सरकार रही है, और नगर निगम भी 2022 तक बीजेपी के पास ही रहा। पर इस दौरान बीजेपी के पास दिल्ली सरकार नहीं थी।

लिहाज़ा केंद्र और नगर निगम के कामों के ज़रिए दिल्ली वालों का दिल जीतने के बजाए बीजेपी की पूरी कोशिश दिल्ली सरकार के अधिकारों को कम करने, और कामों को रोकने पर रही!!

जब 2022 में दिल्ली नगर निगम हाथ से निकला तो बीजेपी को बहुत बड़ा झटका लगा।

बीजेपी समझ गई की सिर्फ़ क़ानूनी दाँव पेंच के भरोसे वो दिल्ली में कोई भी सरकार नहीं बना सकते।

लिहाजा 2022 से बीजेपी का “ऑपरेशन चोक दिल्ली” शुरू हुआ।

एक तरफ़ एलजी साहेब के ज़रिए अधिकारियों के द्वारा नगर निगम और दिल्ली सरकार को पंगु बनाया गया,

और दूसरी तरफ़ आप के प्रमुख नेताओं को तथाकथित शराब घोटाले के नाम पर जेल भेज दिया गया।

जनता को तकलीफ़ हुई...

घरों के आस पास कूड़े का अंबार लगने लगा क्योंकि नगर निगम सलीक़े से कूड़ा नहीं उठाता था।

जरा सी बारिश में जल भराव होने लगे क्योंकि सीवर अच्छे से साफ़ नहीं होते थे।

सड़कें टूटी फूटी हो गई क्योंकि एजेंसियां इसे रिपेयर करने में कोताही बरतने लगीं।

इस तरह बीजेपी ने पूरी दिल्ली को पैरालाइज़ कर दिया।

बीजेपी ऐसा इसलिए कर पाई क्योंकि केंद्र में उसकी एक बहुत बड़े इंजन की सरकार, जो दिल्ली को नहीं बल्कि दिल्ली में सिर्फ अपनी पार्टी को ही मज़बूत करना चाहती थी।

और दिल्ली के पैरालाइज्ड होने का सारा ब्लेम बीजेपी बहुत आसानी से आप पर मढ़ पाई क्योंकि उसके पास एक बहुत मज़बूत मीडिया तंत्र है।

लेकिन अब दिल्ली का हर इंजन बीजेपी का है। इन इंजनों के ड्राइवर भी बीजेपी के ही हैं।

चूँकि बीजेपी ने ख़ुद एक उलझे हुए गवर्नेंस मॉडल को अपनी राजनीति के चलते और ज़्यादा उलझा दिया था, इसलिए इन्हें लगता है कि अब ये बहुत आसानी से दिल्ली गवर्न कर सकेंगे।

ख़ैर, ये तो वक्त ही बताएगा की जिस दिल्ली को बीजेपी ने सालों साल सिर्फ़ "शोषित" किया, उसे वो अब "पोषित" कर पाते हैं या नहीं…
