Lieutenant Governor as head

August 06, 2016 12:41 am | Updated October 18, 2016 12:37 pm IST

The Delhi High Court may be technically correct and might have rightly interpreted the law as far as saying that the Lieutenant Governor is the administrative head in Delhi (“Blow to AAP as HC says L-G is Delhi’s administrative head”, Aug.5). However, it cannot be denied that the decision is grossly unfair to the elected government of Delhi, and thereby to the people of Delhi. The people of Delhi did not elect the L-G to rule them. When Governors are not the administrative heads in any State, why should it be any different in Delhi, especially as it has elected representatives?
