Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of the Government of NCT of Delhi (Amendment) Ordinance 2023, issued by the President under Article 123, which amended the GNCTD Act following a recent Constitution Bench judgment. The Court analyzed whether the Ordinance's assertion of Parliament's exclusive jurisdiction over Delhi aligns with constitutional provisions, especially Articles 239-AA and 239-AA(7). The judgment considers the scope of legislative powers concerning the national capital and the procedural validity of the Ordinance. The Court's decision clarifies the constitutional boundaries of legislative authority over Delhi in light of recent amendments and judicial pronouncements.
