SC Verdict On Monday On Delhi Govt’s Plea Against Appointment Of 'Aldermen' By L-G
The Supreme Court will give its verdict on a plea by the Delhi government challenging the appointment of 'aldermen' by the Lieutenant Governor (L-G) to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Monday.
A bench headed by CJI DY Chandrachud and comprising Justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala reserved its judgment on the matter in May last year.
As per IANS, the Delhi government requested the revocation of the orders dated January 3 and 4, 2023, as well as the ensuing gazette notifications, which stated that the L-G had appointed 10 nominated members to the MCD on his initiative rather than with the council of ministers' assistance or advice.
"This is the first time since Article 239AA came into effect in 1991 that such a nomination has been made by the Lieutenant Governor completely bypassing the elected government, thereby abrogating to an unelected office a power that belongs to the duly elected government," said the government's plea.
