In a major win for the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party, the Supreme Court of India on Wednesday overturned the Delhi High Court order in a majority decision stating that the elected government has the real power in Delhi and not the lieutenant-governor. In its over-500-page judgment, a five-member bench led by Chief Justice Dipak Misra made several observations on the power tussle between the Kejriwal government in Delhi and L-G Anil Bajial, representing the Centre.
