Subject: Polity
Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Highlights the conflict between the elected government of the National Capital Territory (NCT) and the Lieutenant Governor, who acts on behalf of the President. Articles 239AA–239AB provide a special status, limiting the Assembly’s powers over public order, police, and land. Disputes often arise on who controls services (bureaucratic appointments, transfers). The Supreme Court ruled that the LG must act on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers except in exceptional circumstances. This tussle reveals broader issues of democracy vs. centralized authority, testing the NCT’s quest for autonomy. Observers note that constructive cooperation fosters better governance in the national capital.
