SC ruling on Delhi power tussle: From AAP to Congress, what parties said

The SC ruled that the LG has no independent power to take decisions and is bound by the elected government's advice

The Supreme Court on Wednesday handed a major victory to Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal in his bitter power tussle with Lieutenant Governor (LG) Anil Baijal, ruling that the LG has no independent power to take decisions and is bound by the elected government's advice.

"There is no room for absolutism and there is no room for anarchism also," the five-judge Bench of the Supreme Court said in a unanimous ruling pronounced by Chief Justice Dipak Misra. The ruling also held that the LG, who is appointed by the Centre, cannot act as an "obstructionist".
