Recusal cannot be claimed on conjecture, selective inference, or a litigant's subjective unease; the governing test is whether a fair-minded and informed observer would find a genuine, reasonable apprehension of bias. Prima facie observations in an interim order, service on prior counsel, protective stays, expedited hearing of an MP/MLA matter, prior prima facie judgments in connected PMLA proceedings, alleged contrary findings in other forums, a political statement, judicial participation in legal events, and relatives' professional engagements were each found insufficient to show a proximate nexus with the lis.
