NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Delhi government approached the Supreme Court on Friday against the Centre’s Ordinance over control of its services.
In an appeal filed in the top court, it has said the Ordinance is “unconstitutional and it should be immediately scrapped”.
The plea said the ordinance was “an unconstitutional exercise of executive fiat”. The AAP has deemed the ordinance as ‘unconstitutional’ and has requested an immediate stay on its implementation.
The Centre brought an ordinance on May 19 to curtail the powers of Delhi’s elected government. It made way to create a National Capital Civil Service Authority for transfer of and disciplinary proceedings against Group-A officers from the DANICS cadre.
The ordinance was promulgated only a week after the Supreme Court handed over control of services in Delhi to the elected government, excluding those related to police, public order and land.
Following this, Arvind Kejriwal has been meeting different opposition parties across the country to garner support, claiming the ordinance will destroy the federal structure of the country.
