NEW DELHI: Within hours of the apex court ruling in its favour, the Delhi government said on Wednesday it was once taking back from the Lt Governor the ability to transfer and post IAS and other officers.
"Two years back as per a high court decision, the power to transfer and post officers was taken away from the elected government of Delhi and was reposed with the LG and other officials," deputy leader minister Manish Sisodia said.
"Being the Minister of Services, I have now ordered that this system be changed with immediate effect and be given back to the chief minister and deputy chief minister," he informed reporters here.
According to the device which prevailed hitherto, the ability to transfer and post IAS officers, DANICS officers and officers equivalent to all India services and products was once vested with the Lt. Governor.
The energy to transfer and post Grade I and II DASS employees, non-public secretaries and senior personal assistants was once vested with the Chief Secretary.
A Supreme Court Constitution Bench on Wednesday dominated in favour of the Arvind Kejriwal government saying the real powers of governance in Delhi rest with the elected representatives.
