Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel on Thursday told the Delhi High Court that he wished to withdraw his recent letter written to the Acting Chief Justice alleging that a Division Bench of the court had passed orders against the legislature without ascertaining facts.
As the submission was made orally by the counsel for the Speaker, the court asked him to give a written request for withdrawing the three-page letter, which is now being heard as a petition.
The plea was opposed by the counsel for Chief Secretary M.M. Kutty and PWD principal secretary Ashwani Kumar, who said the letter was written by the Speaker and only he has the authority to withdraw it and not any official.
