New Delhi: In an affidavit, the Centre government alleged that officials are not cooperating with the AAP government, contradicting Sisodia's assertion of cooperation, according to Union home secretary Ajay Bhalla, who said in the affidavit that individual illustrations would have clearly indicated Sisodia's assertion of non-cooperation by the central government, thereby paralyzing the execution of policies and initiatives in the national capital.I have obtained information from all GNCTD's senior officials about the non-receipt of calls etc., and have found that no such incidents have ever occurred.All officials, except on certain occasions, were expected to attend all sessions, according to the report.I have learnt that the dates on which some officers could not attend the meetings were the dates when the Delhi government's administrative department was asked to cooperate, and that the central government had no power to control these areas, according to Sisodia's affidavit.
According to the Union home secretary, a five-judge Constitution bench will hear the case on January 10, 2023, about a dispute over the scope of legislative and executive powers of the Centre and Delhi government over control of services in the national capital.The case was referred to a three-judge bench after a three-judge bench denied the petition in May this year.However, Justice AK Sikri said that the Central government should only transfer or assign officers in the top echelons of the bureaucracy (joint director and above), and that the lieutenant governor's opinion would prevail in the event of a disagreement on the remaining five issues, apart from the control of services.A five-judge constitution bench of the Supreme Court announced the basic rules for the national capital on July 4, 2018.It had confined the LG's jurisdiction to questions relating to land, police, and public order, it said in the landmark judgment that Delhi cannot be given the status of a state but instead restricted its powers, arguing that he must act on the council of ministers' assistance and advice.
