NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court has withheld the Centre from appointing any person to the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), after it was informed the appointments were being made without the statutorily mandated consultation of Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal.
“Till the next date of hearing, no appointments shall be made under Section 4 of the NDMC Act,” Justice Vibhu Bakhru said.
It also set the date of hearing from August 13 to October 17, after it was urged so by AAP MLA Surender Singh, who moved the court, challenging the Centre’s 2015 notification appointing BJP leader Karan Singh Tanwar as member and vice-chairperson of the NDMC.
