New Delhi: After former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, former deputy CM Manish Sisodia has also decided not to participate in further proceedings in the Delhi excise policy case pending before the bench of Delhi High Court's justice Swarana Kanta Sharma.

In a letter addressed to justice Sharma, Sisodia said that his doubts regarding the judge's impartiality in the Delhi excise policy case remain unresolved.

According to Sisodia's letter, justice Sharma's repeated public attendance at the Akhil Bharatiya Adhivakta Parishad events, her children's professional engagement with a central government panel and the appearance of their closeness with government law officers appearing against him, trouble him a lot. Sisodia's letter states that his "concern too, much like Kejriwal's, is not born out of hostility to the court".
