"Why Don't Chief Minister, Lt Governor...": Supreme Court On Delhi Top Official Row
NDTV
To settle the dispute between the Delhi government and the LG, the Supreme Court asked the centre to propose a list of five names and said the Delhi government could pick from that list.
The Supreme Court interverned Friday in the tussle between the Delhi goverment and the Delhi Lieutenant Governor over the appointment of a new Chief Secretary, directing both sides to sit down and amicably discuss the shortlist of candidates to be provided on Tuesday by the central government.
This comes after the Delhi government - controlled by the Aam Aadmi Party - moved the court against the centre extending the tenure of the current Chief Secretary - Naresh Kumar, who retires this month - or appointing a new official. The challenge was against the backdrop of the contentious ordinance that gave the centre control over posting of bureaucrats, and the Delhi government had argued such appointments could not be made without it being consulted.
In today's hearing, arguing for the Delhi government, senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi said, "... it always the Delhi government that appointed. Now there is a generic ordinance... what I am objecting is the unilateral decision of the LG."
