AAP vs L-G LIVE UPDATES: The Supreme Court Thursday delivered a split judgment on the tussle between the Lieutenant Governor and the Delhi government on the regulation of services in the national capital. The apex court had ruled that the Lieutenant Governor (L-G) has no “independent decision-making power” and that he has to take decisions on the advice of the Cabinet.

However, it agreed on Centre having control over the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) in Delhi..
