The letter from Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena's principal secretary cited various cases in the Supreme Court and Delhi High Court and the alleged "violations" of the Delhi government with regard to its "dealings" with these courts.
The Delhi LG Secretariat has written to the Union home secretary over "violations" by the Delhi government and "concerted attempts" to "mislead" courts with the aim to "influence" the justice delivery system, Raj Niwas officials said on Thursday.
The Delhi government attempts to "influence" the justice delivery system through filing of "motivated and premeditated" petitions and presenting "patently false" affidavits, they said.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, however, said courts are the last resort after officers do not follow ministers' directions. No action was taken by the lieutenant governor against such officers, it said in a statement.
