Arya confirmed to Live Law on Sunday that he had joined the BJP. “My thinking aligns with the philosophy of the BJP, a party that believes in human values,” Live Law quoted him as saying.

“A judge is a human being, too,” Arya told Live Law. “Once he retires, he has a life and can express his viewpoints; there is nothing wrong with it. Yes, a judge, while on his chair, must ensure that he adopts a non-partisan viewpoint.”
