The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear the Delhi Govt’s plea challenging the constitutional validity of the Centre’s ordinance with regard to control over services in the national capital on July 10.
Senior Advocate AM Singhvi mentioned the plea before a bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasimha and Manoj Mishra which then listed it for hearing next week.
The Delhi Govt had approached the apex court against the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Ordinance, 2023 (‘Impugned Ordinance), promulgated on May 19, and prayed for an immediate interim stay saying it “completely sidelines the elected Government, i.e. the GNCTD, from control over its civil service”.
