Court reserves order on Bedi’s interference in affairs of govt
Chennai:14.12.2019
The Madras high court has reserved its order on appeals moved by the Union government and lieutenant governor of Puducherry Kiran Bedi challenging the court order that ruled Bedi had no powers to interfere with the day-today affairs of elected government of the Union territory.
Recording the final arguments put forth by all the parties, the first bench of Chief Justice A P Sahi and Justice Subramonium Prasad reserved the orders on Friday.
The issue pertains to a plea moved by Lakshminarayanan of the Congress challenging the communications from the Union home ministry vesting powers in the lieutenant governor. Allowing the plea, a single judge of the court held that the powers of the lieutenant governor to act as an administrator are restricted and applicable only in certain circumstances. Challenging the order, the Centre in its appeal said the single judge had erred in holding that the writ petitioner had locus standi to move such a plea. TNN
