The AAP government had last year filed a plea in the Supreme Court against any move by the Centre to appoint, without any consultation with it, the new chief secretary or extend the tenure of Kumar after the due date of his retirement.

The Supreme Court in its order had upheld the Centre's decision to extend Kumar's tenure by six months, observing it cannot be said to be violative of law or constitutional distribution of powers between the Union and the Delhi government.
