New Delhi, Mar 29 (PTI) The Supreme Court Wednesday sought a response from the office of lieutenant governor on a plea of the Delhi government seeking quashing of nomination of 10 members to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi by the LG.

In the petition filed through lawyer Shadan Farasat, the Arvind Kejriwal government has challenged the decision of the LG to nominate the members allegedly without the “aid and advice” of the elected dispensation and its council of ministers.

A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala took note of the submissions of senior advocate A M Singhvi, appearing for the Delhi government, and issued notice to the Office of Lieutenant Governor through its principal secretary for April 10.
