Centre reverses SC order, gives LG final say on bureaucrats(PG 1)(GS 2)
•The Union government on Friday brought an ordinance designating the LieutenantGovernor (LG) as the administrator of Delhi, with the final say on the postings and transfer of all bureaucrats serving the Delhi government.
•The ordinance, promulgated by President Droupadi Murmu, seeks to amend the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991, and effectively negates the May 11 Supreme Court judgment that gave the Arvind Kejriwalled Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government the power to make laws and wield control over bureaucrats deputed to the Delhi government.
• The ordinance seeks to establish for the first time the National Capital Civil Service Authority (NCCSA), which will be headed by the Chief Minister of Delhi, with the Chief Secretary and Principal Home Secretary of Delhi as its other two members.
• “All matters required to be decided by the Authority shall be decided by majority of votes of the members present and voting,” read the ordinance, issued by the Union Law Ministry
