LG recalls files from Delhi law department in latest flashpoint

 

In what is set to become a new flashpoint between the Delhi government and the LG's office, Saxena invoked special provisions under rule 19(5) of Transaction of Business Rules (TOBR), 1993, which says the LG can call for papers relating to any or matter in any department from the secretary, who can simultaneously inform the minister-in-charge about the action taken.

A communication was sent by the LG secretariat to principal secretary (law and justice) Bharat Parashar, after a report submitted by him mentioned that he had also written to law minister Kailash Gahlot to expeditiously decide on these files on November 13, but had got no response.
