NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court is set to hear a significant plea from the Delhi government on Monday, contesting the Centre's authority to allow the Lieutenant Governor (L-G) to appoint lawyers for the Delhi government.

This legal challenge targets a 2017 office memorandum issued by the Union Home Ministry, which the Delhi government claims undermines its elected mandate.

A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Sanjay Kumar will preside over the case. The Delhi government argues that the memorandum and subsequent orders issued by the L-G significantly hinder its ability to represent the interests of the people of Delhi in legal matters. The petition emphasises that the elected government is effectively being stripped of its right to choose its legal representatives and determine their compensation.
