The Supreme Court on Monday sought the Centre’s stand on a plea filed by the Delhi government challenging the constitutionality of the ordinance on control of services.
A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasimha issued notice to the government and asked senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for the AAP government, to amend its plea and add the Lieutenant Governor as party in case.
“We’ll issue notice,” the bench said while posting the matter for hearing on July 17.
In its plea, the AAP government has said it is an “unconstitutional exercise of executive fiat” that attempts to “override” the top court and the basic structure of the Constitution.
Besides quashing the ordinance, the Delhi government has also sought an interim stay on it.
The Centre had on May 19 promulgated the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Ordinance, 2023, to create an authority for transfer and posting of Group-A officers in Delhi.
