The Arvind Kejriwal-led government on Wednesday moved Supreme Court against the high courts judgment on giving primacy to Lieutenant-Governor in administration. The high court order came as a setback to the Aam Aadmi Party government as it has been pursuing demands of statehood for Delhi ever since it swept to power.

The court ruled in favour of the Centre over the administrative tussle between the Arvind Kejriwal-led government and L-G Najeeb Jung. The court also described the probe ordered by the government to look into the financial irregularities into the Delhi District Cricket Association and CNG fitness scam as illegal.

This comes a day after Delhi's Lt governor, Najeeb Jung transferred a number of officers involved in building Mohalla clinics and schools.

The Lieutenant Governor had also appointed a three-member committee on 30 August to examine over 400 files submitted by the Delhi Government alleging "irregularities".
