New bill to replace Delhi services ordinance comes with major changes

Allahabad-High-Court-on-Anticipatory-bail

The bill that was set to replace the Delhi services ordinance has come up with major changes including a contentious provision that was apparently inserted to overcome the effect of the May 11, 2023 judgment of the Supreme Court.

The judgement will take away the power of the Delhi government, for changing the manner in which tribunals’ heads are to be appointed in the national capital.

The National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023 was introduced in Lok Sabha today by Union home minister Amit Shah, who has dropped Section 3A of the May 19 ordinance, placed in to take “services” out of the purview of the elected government in Delhi.

A per the Section 3A states that notwithstanding anything contained in any judgement, order or decree of any Court, the Legislative Assembly shall have the power to make laws as per Article 239AA except with respect to any matter enumerated in Entry 41 of List II of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India or any matter connected therewith or incidental thereto.

The representatives of the Delhi government have not given comment on these observations.
