Government of Delhi
[5] In May 2023, the Supreme Court delivered a landmark verdict affirming that the Government of Delhi holds authority over all administrative services, including the Indian Administrative Service, with the exception of police, land, and public order, while limiting the Lieutenant Governor's role to matters under these specific domains.However, just days after this judgment, the Central Government circumvented the ruling by issuing an ordinance to establish the National Capital Civil Services Authority in Delhi.The Legislative Assembly of Delhi was first constituted on 17 March 1952 under the Government of Part C States Act, 1951, but it was abolished on 1 October 1956.Sheila Dikshit (INC) has been the chief minister for the maximum number of terms (three) and served for the longest duration (15 years).The Supreme Court of India in Government of NCT of Delhi v. Union of India ruled that according to the Article 239AA of the Indian constitution, that although the government had to keep him/her informed of its decisions, Delhi's lieutenant governor did not have any independent decision-making powers and had to follow the "aid and advice" of the chief minister-led council of ministers of the Government of Delhi on matters which the Delhi Legislative Assembly could legislate on, viz., all items on the State List (items on which only state legislatures can legislate) and the Concurrent List (items on which both the Parliament of India and the state legislatures can legislate) barring 'police, 'public order' and 'land'.
