Arvind Kejriwal's Jung with Centre in Supreme Court tomorrow

The Supreme Court will re-hear on Friday the central government's plea challenging a Delhi High Court order that said Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung has no power in the posting and transfer of bureaucrats in Delhi.

The apex court vacation bench of Justices SK Sikri and UU Lalit on Thursday said they will hear the matter on Friday as Additional Solicitor General Maninder Singh urged the court to hold an urgent hearing of the matter.

The Delhi High Court by its verdict had held erroneous a Home Ministry notification putting all the services under the Lieutenant Governor.

Meanwhile, Jung met Home Secretary LC Goyal on Thursday over the notification . The Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi has often accused Jung of being a BJP agent, with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal last week even calling him a 'Viceroy' of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In a two-day special session of Delhi Assembly that concluded on Wednesday, the Home Ministry notification was slammed as illegal by the AAP government,with Rithala MLA Mahinder Goyal even tearing up a copy of it in the House.

The AAP government also moved the Delhi High Court on Thursday challenging the notification, which was called "suspect" by the same court in an earlier ruling. The court will hear the AAP petition, which also includes the appointment of IAS officer Shakuntala Gamlin as acting Chief Secretary by Jung, on Friday.
