Delhi CM shall be communicated to the LG for his view

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi-The Delhi High Court today termed as “without substance” the contention of the AAP government that the LG is bound to act only on the aid and advice of the Chief Minister and his Council of Ministers with regard to making laws by the Legislative Assembly under the Article 239AA of the Constitution.

Giving primacy to the concurrence of LG in transaction of legislative business, the high court said that every decision taken by the Council of Ministers “shall be communicated to the LG for his views”.

“It is mandatory under the constitutional scheme to communicate the decision of the Council of Ministers to the LG even in relation to the matters in respect of which power to make laws has been conferred on the Legislative Assembly of NCT of Delhi under clause (3)(a) of Article 239AA of the Constitution and an order thereon can be issued only where the LG does not take a different view”,” a bench headed by Chief Justice G Rohini said.
