Govt. Of National Capital Territory, ... vs Inder Pal Singh Chadha And Ors.

The Supreme Court held that the Delhi Government, while having certain legislative powers, is not compelled to run lotteries as there is no statutory obligation imposed by the central government. The Court emphasized that constitutional issues should only be adjudicated when necessary for providing relief in a case. Consequently, the High Court's exploration of these constitutional questions was deemed unnecessary, and the appeal was disposed of without expressing any opinion on the merits of the writ petition.
