The Supreme Court partially dismissed the defendant's request to recuse judges from the appeal court. While the request to remove Judge A. S. was rejected, the court granted the request to remove Judge B. S. based on specific grounds. The decision distinguishes between the two judges by applying different legal standards to their respective potential conflicts of interest.

Art. 237 § 1 k.p.c.; Art. 237 § 2 k.p.c.: A recusal request is admissible only if the grounds are established; the court must evaluate each judge's situation independently, allowing recusal for one judge while rejecting it for another if the specific circumstances do not meet the statutory threshold.
