LIVE: Delhi government vs LG in Supreme Court | SC verdict on regulation of Civil Services in Delhi

Описание: Delhi government vs LG: Catch the in-depth coverage of the 5-day Constitution Bench hearing between the Delhi government and the Lieutenant Governor (LG) at the Supreme Court. The verdict on this matter, which was reserved on January 18 this year, has garnered significant attention.

Originating in 2018, the case revolves around the interpretation of Article 239AA of the Constitution, specifically addressing the National Capital Territory (NCT). The Supreme Court's Constitution Bench previously clarified the unique status of the NCT, the powers of the Delhi Legislative Assembly, and the role of the LG, sparking extensive debates.

In that landmark judgment, the Court ruled that the LG cannot act independently but must work Delhi government vs LG: in harmony with the NCT government, relying on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers. However, certain individual aspects, particularly pertaining to services, were subsequently presented before a regular bench for further examination.

On April 14, 2019, the regular bench delivered its verdict on these specific aspects, but Justices AK Sikri and Ashok Bhushan differed on the matter of 'services' under Schedule VII, List II, Entry 41 of the Indian Constitution. As a result, this aspect was referred to a larger bench for resolution.

The three-judge bench, responding to the Centre's request, subsequently referred the issue to the Constitution Bench. The Centre's argument was primarily based on the contention that the majority judgment of the Constitution Bench did not adequately consider the purpose and intent of the expression "insofar as any such matter is applicable to Union Territories" in Article 239AA(3) of the Constitution, which holds pivotal significance.

Stay informed about this crucial legal battle that explores the powers and dynamics between the Delhi government and the LG, addressing fundamental constitutional principles.
