The Supreme Court of India has decided to refer the issue of “whether Parliament can abrogate the constitutional principles of governance for the Delhi government” to a five-judge constitution bench. This decision comes in response to the Centre recently issuing an ordinance related to the Delhi services matter, using its powers under Article 239-AA, a special provision in the Constitution for the national capital.
The ordinance in question includes Section 3A, which removes Entry 41 (services) of List II (State List) from the legislative competence of the National Capital Territory of Delhi (NCTD). As a result, the Delhi government`s executive power over services is affected, leading to the question of whether a law can completely remove the executive power over services from the Delhi government.
