#SupremeCourt hears Delhi Govt's plea against LG's decision to appoint ten aldermen in MCD.

Dr AM Singhvi: On 2nd Jan 2023, note is issued, signed by ministry of corporation that LG may nominate. So he straight away says LG will nominate.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt Image
Singhvi: Then the file goes to LG and he nominates. This is without aid and advise of assembly...

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt #DelhiGovtvLG
Singhvi: 163 mirrors this article. See the textual language- then read Shamsher Singh...

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt #DelhiGovtvLG
Singhvi: Even before your lordships passed the last CB judgement, there was the 2018 judgement. Please see.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt #DelhiGovtvLG
Singhvi: There are 12 zones in MCD. They have 12 committees. These 10 he appointed can be nominated anywhere in these 12 ward committees. 6+12 makes standing committees.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt #DelhiGovtvLG
Singhvi: Three words they can use- Administrator, LG, aid and advise...last 30 years, since 1993, this is the first time the LG has directly nominated. There have been different governments in centre and delhi but they've all been on aid and advise.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia
CJI DY Chandrachud: Section 41 says that the LG can only act in two areas...this particular act does it give for...

Dr Singhvi: No he doesn't identify.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt #DelhiGovtvLG
Singhvi: The counter says something extraordinary, it says that since your lordships have 9A for municipals and panchayats, they can act...

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt #DelhiGovtvLG
CJI DY Chandrachud: Show us the source of power of LG to nominate the aldermen.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt #DelhiGovtvLG
ASG: The concept of aid and advice is different than portrayed...The governance of Delhi under 239AA is not a factor of governance of municipal corporation.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt #DelhiGovtvLG
ASG Jain: Municipal corporation is covered under Article 243 or the Constitution...I am only defending LG's power and not on ineligibility of alderman.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt #DelhiGovtvLG
ASG Jain: Delhi Municipal Corporation Act is an act of 1957. After part 9a was inserted, there were three amendments. State govt is seperately defined, administrator is differently defined...

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt #DelhiGovtvLG
CJI: You're saying that administrator here refers to 243R and nominations have to be made by administrator and not on aid and advise.

ASG: Yes, Aid and advice is a concept only relevant in context of 239AA.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt #DelhiGovtvLG
CJI DY Chandrachud: We'll read the counter and continue hearing the matter tomorrow.
