New Delhi, July 5

Over 150 lawyers have written to CJI DY Chandrachud over “conflict of interest” of Delhi HC Judge Sudhir Kumar Jain who heard ED appeal against bail to CM Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy “scam”.

They claimed Justice Jain should have rescued himself from proceedings as his brother was an ED counsel. Sources, however, said advocate Anurag Jain was not handling any money laundering case related to the “scam”. The representation by 157 lawyers also bears the signature of AAP legal cell chief Sanjeev Nasiar. They expressed concern over a purported internal communication from a district judge here asking vacation judges of trial courts to not pass a final order in pending cases during a court recess, calling it “unprecedented”.
