On Tuesday, Raj Niwas officials said the LG Secretariat has returned files connected to Services affairs to the Delhi government in light of the Supreme Court’s last week’s order on transfers and postings of bureaucrats in the city.
The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the elected government in Delhi has legislative and executive authority over matters pertaining to land, police, and public order, which remain within the jurisdiction of the lieutenant governor.

“These have been returned with the observation that the departments may be advised to take appropriate/further necessary action, in light of the CB (Constitution Bench) judgment in Supreme Court on May 11”, the official added.
