[ad_1]
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday referred the Delhi government‘s petition challenging the constitutional validity of the Centre’s services ordinance to a 5-judge bench.
The SC bench comprising CJI D Y Chandrachud justices P S Narasimha and Manoj Misra said the AAP government’s petition will be heard after conclusion of proceedings in the challenge to 2019 decision abrogating Article 370 of the Constitution. The bench said the detailed order referring the case to a larger bench will be uploaded on the apex court website later in the day.
The Delhi govt requested the top court to hear the services ordinance case first by deferring the August 2 hearing on challenge to abrogation of Article 370. The bench declined the request.
The top court had recently issued notices to the Centre and the lieutenant governor on the plea while refusing to grant an interim stay on the ordinance on control over services in Delhi.
The Centre had on May 19 promulgated the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Ordinance, 2023 to create an authority for transfer and posting of Group-A officers in Delhi, which triggered a clash with the Arvind Kejriwal government.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government termed it a “deception” with the Supreme Court verdict handing over the control of services to the city government, barring in spheres of land, public order and police, and moved the top court with a fresh petition.
