'Then, what's the purpose of elected govt?': Supreme Court grills Centre on power tussle with Delhi govt

The Supreme Court on 12 January 2023 made some sharp observations in the case regarding the distribution of powers between the Delhi government and the Union government.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the central government, told the court, "The Union Territories are an extension of the Union. The very purpose of creating a geographical area as a UT shows that the Union wants to administer the territory."

To this, the court replied, "Then what is the purpose of having an elected government in Delhi at all? If administration is by central government only, why bother with a government?"

The SG said that the elected government has functional control, and the Centre has administrative control.
