HC Background4

C.A. No. 2357/2017

GOVT. OF NCT OF DELHI VS UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court held that the GNCTD had legislative and executive power over the “services” under Entry 41 of List II of the Schedule VII of the Constitution. Thus, in cases regarding civil services and the power to supervise or exercise control over the transfer or suspension of civil servants, the Lt. Governor of NCT of Delhi would be bound by the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers of the GNCTD. However, because Article 239AA confers the Union Government with exclusive legislative power over public order, police, and land in Delhi, the Court held that the Union Government shall exercise power over civil services relating to these specific areas of governance. The decision of the Court was authored by Chief Justice Chandrachud.
