Home ministry likely to consider Kejriwal's request

February 09, 2014 17:11

The Union home ministry is likely to consider Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's request for the withdrawal of a 12-year-old order that makes it mandatory for all bills to be sent to the Centre before being tabled in the Delhi Assembly.

Officials said that the 2002 order to the Delhi government cannot be rescinded without legal consultations and the home ministry may refer the matter to the law ministry for its opinion.

Since this order was not passed by the present government, the legal antecedents of the order have to be, therefore, verified before taking any decision on it, the officials said.
