Amid growing hostility between the Central and Delhi governments over powers in the national capital, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday lauded the Delhi High Court’s verdict when it said the Lt Governor must act on the ‘aid and advice of the council of ministers’ and that ‘mandate of the people must be respected by the Lt governor in respect of matters which fall within the domain of the Legislative assembly.’
Today’s HC judgement a huge embarassment for central govt. HC also said that the latest 21st May MHA notification is “suspect”
