Supreme Court Judge Justice Sanjay Kumar Recuses From Manish Sisodia's Bail Plea In Liquor Police Case

Justice Sanjay Kumar of the Supreme Court recused himself from hearing Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia's bail plea in a liquor police case. The decision came after Sisodia's counsel, Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, raised concerns about a possible conflict of interest due to the judge's prior associations. Sisodia faces charges related to alleged violations of excise laws during the COVID-19 lockdown. The matter has now been referred to the Chief Justice of India to assign it to another bench. This development highlights procedural intricacies and ethical considerations in judicial proceedings.
