Court Picks New Lawyers for Leaders

Introduction

The Delhi High Court chose three senior lawyers. These lawyers will help Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, and Durgesh Pathak in court.

Main Body

The CBI says these men did something wrong with a 2021-22 alcohol policy. A lower court said the men were not guilty because there was not enough proof. Now, the CBI wants the High Court to change that decision. The men asked for a different judge. They did not trust Judge Sharma. The court said no to this request. The judge said there was no good reason to change. Because the judge said no, the men decided not to come to court. They are angry and will not speak. The court now needs neutral lawyers to help the case move forward.

Conclusion

The court will name the lawyers on Friday. Then, the court will listen to the CBI.
