New Delhi: In a unanimous verdict, the Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the Delhi government has legislative and executive powers over services.
Hearing the Centre versus the Delhi government over the issue of demarcation of power, a constitution bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said an elected government needs to have control over the administration.
It refused to agree with the 2019 judgement of Justice Ashok Bhushan that the city government has no power over the issue of services.
AAP leaders hailed the judgment calling it a victory of the people of Delhi
