New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday held that the Delhi Lieutenant Governor can independently nominate 10 aldermen to Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).

A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud, Justice P S Narasimha, and Justice J B Pardiwala affirmed that the LG’s unilateral appointment of 10 aldermen to the MCD without consulting the state Cabinet is correct, and ruled that the Parliament has statutorily conferred on LG the power to do so.

Writing the judgment, Justice Narasimha said once such power is conferred on LG, the Aam Aadmi Party government can’t have a say on this issue.
