July 4, 2018: Ending the tussle for power in the national capital, the Supreme Court delivered its verdict on the administrative head of the national capital.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday unanimously ruled that the elected government has the real power in Delhi, not the lieutenant-governor.
The Supreme Court Wednesday said the Delhi Lieutenant Governor cannot act independently and must take the aid and advise of the Council of Ministers.
Earlier, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had accused Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal of taking decisions of an elected government and delaying work by sitting on files.
The matter was heard by a five-judge bench which was headed by CJI Dipak Misra and comprised Justice A K Sikri, Justice A M Khanwilkar, Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justice Ashok Bhushan
