By ignoring the apex court’s order and introducing the Authority, the centre has triggered a constitutional crisis, which goes against the spirit of democracy, federalism and rule of law.
As the centre jostles for supremacy with the Delhi government, the Supreme Court’s stand has been that capturing the powers of an elected government by indirect means is a violation of the concept of federalism.
After hearing the Counsels for both sides and looking into the facts and circumstances, the Bench said that it sees no reason to entertain the writ petition and not inclined even to issue a notice in this case.
