Summary:
AdvertisingBut Justice Bhushan was of the opinion that power over services lay only with the Centre. Since the two judges differed on who should have control over the administrative services, they decided to refer the matter to a larger bench. In a split verdict Thursday on the power tussle between the Centre represented by the Lt-Governor and the AAP-led Delhi government, a two-judge bench of the Supreme Court referred to a larger bench the question of who should have control over administrative services. The bench was unanimous that the power to appoint commissions under the Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952 would be vested with the Centre and not the Delhi government. It also said the power to appoint Special Public Prosecutors would be vested with the Delhi government..
