more-inA five-judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court on Wednesday reserved for judgment the Centre-Delhi power tussle over who between them wields the power of administration and governance over the National Capital. The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government had challenged the Delhi High Court judgment declaring the LG as the sole administrator of Delhi. The powers of the President, the Lieutenant Governor, Council of Ministers in the Delhi government and the Chief Minister are inter-connected. He argued that there was no point to comparing Delhi to any other State or Union Territory. Mr. Subramanium had argued that the "extraordinary discretion" of the LG is confined to special circumstances and not in everything.
