AAP vs LG: Supreme Court says Delhi govt to control posting of officers


The top court said that the Delhi government, and not the Lieutenant Governor, has legislative and executive powers over administrative services.

In a major boost for the Aam Aadmi Party, the Supreme Court on May 11, 2023, ruled that the Delhi government has control over the posting and transfer of officers.
A 5-judge constitution bench of the top court said that the Delhi government, and not the Lieutenant Governor, has legislative and executive powers over administrative services.
It refused to agree with the 2019 judgement of Justice Ashok Bhushan that the city government has no power over the issue of services.
The bench, which also comprised Justices M R Shah, Krishna Murari, Hima Kohli and P S Narasimha, said democracy and federal structure are part of the basic structure of the Constitution.
The constitution bench was set up to hear the legal issue concerning the scope of legislative and executive powers of the Centre and the National Capital Territory government over control of services in Delhi.&nbsp;

Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena has approved a proposal to forward a complaint to the CBI seeking to probe alleged corruption in the procurement of 1,000 low-floor buses by the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC), sources said on Saturday. 

Delhi L-G recommends CBI probe into purchase of 1,000 low-floor DTC buses

The complaint alleges that the appointment of the Minister of Transport Kailash Gahlot as the chairman of the committee for tendering and procurement of buses by the DTC was done in a &ldquo;premeditated manner&rdquo;.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena has approved a proposal to forward a complaint to the CBI seeking to probe alleged corruption in the procurement of 1,000 low-floor buses by the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC), sources said on Saturday.
A complaint addressed to Saxena in June 2022 highlighted irregularities in the tendering and bidding process and was forwarded to chief secretary Naresh Kumar for comments in July. Kumar submitted his report to the L-G and the complaint has now been forwarded to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), officials said.
The report submitted by the chief secretary to the L-G on August 19 pointed out certain &ldquo;irregularities&rdquo;, including that DIMTS and DTC&rsquo;s tender committee did not evaluate the financial bids correctly.
The complaint alleges that the appointment of the Minister of Transport Kailash Gahlot as the chairman of the committee for tendering and procurement of buses by the DTC was done in a &ldquo;premeditated manner&rdquo;. It also claims that the appointment of DIMTS as bid management consultant for this tender was done with an aim to &ldquo;facilitate wrongdoing&rdquo;.

The procurement bid for 1,000 low-floor BS-IV and BS-VI buses in 2019, followed by another one in March 2020 for the purchase and annual maintenance contract for low-floor BS-VI buses, was in contravention of rules, as per the allegations.
The CBI is already conducting a preliminary inquiry into the annual maintainable contracts of the procurement of these buses. Meanwhile, Saxena approved the clubbing of this complaint with the one already being probed.
A committee headed by retired IAS officer OP Aggrawal (retd) constituted to look into the charges of corruption in the procurement of buses in June 2021, in its report submitted in August 2021, had clearly indicted the AAP government for &ldquo;procedural deviations in the entire tendering and procurement procedure&rdquo;, the sources said.
&ldquo;Criminal misconduct by public servants in this tender exercise will be ascertained by the investigating agency, ie the CBI. On the basis of this, the chief secretary recommended referring the matter to the CBI, which was approved by the L-G,&rdquo; said a source.

A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry has already been recommended by the LG into the alleged violation of rules and procedural lapses in the implementation of the Excise Policy 2021-22.
Under the policy, implemented on November 17, 2021, private firms were issued retail licences for 849 liquor vends across the city divided into 32 zones.
The policy was withdrawn by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government on July 30, led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday said he has written to the CBI requesting a probe into what he said was a sudden change in former lieutenant governor Anil Baijal&rsquo;s decision to open shops in unauthorised colonies.
The change in the L-G&rsquo;s decision on shops in unauthorised colonies caused &ldquo;thousands of crores of losses&rdquo; to the Delhi government, said Sisodia.
