Supreme Court Upholds Delhi LG's Power to Nominate 10 MCD Aldermen
Aug 5, 2024, 05:39 AM
The Supreme Court of India has upheld the power of the Lieutenant Governor (LG) of Delhi to nominate 10 aldermen to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) without the aid and advice of the elected government. This decision, pronounced on August 5, 2024, rejects the plea by the Delhi government, led by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which argued that such appointments should be made based on the advice of the Council of Ministers headed by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The ruling allows the LG to independently appoint 10 aldermen to the MCD, marking a significant setback for the AAP government. The Supreme Court's decision is expected to resolve the deadlock regarding the formation of the MCD's standing committee.
