NDTV
The Delhi vs Centre case relates to a dispute over who should control administrative services in Delhi over the transfers and postings of officers.
The Supreme Court on Friday prohibited the filing of any pleadings (filing of documents or affidavits) in a case relating to a dispute over who should control administrative services in Delhi over the transfers and postings of officers in the national capital.
Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for the Aam Aadmi Party government, mentioned the matter before a bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justice Hima Kohli, saying Delhi's deputy Chief Minister filed an affidavit to show the paralysis in administration.
Mr Singhvi mentioned that there is paralysis in administration in Delhi due to the non-cooperation by bureaucrats with the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government.
Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Sanjay Jain, appearing for the Centre, objected to Mr Sisodia filing an affidavit in the matter, and accused the Delhi government of leaking the affidavit to the media before it was filed in the Supreme Court.
