CHENNAI: The Madras high
court
has reserved its order on appeals moved by Union government and lieutenant governor of Puducherry
Kiran Bedi challenging the court order that ruled
Bedi
had no powers to interfere with the day-to-day affairs of elected government of the union territory.
Recording the final arguments put forth by all the parties, the first bench of Chief Justice A P Sahi and Justice Subramonium Prasad reserved the orders on Friday.
The issue pertains to a plea moved by Lakshminarayanan of the Congress party challenging the communications from the home ministry vesting powers in the lieutenant governor. Allowing the plea, a single judge of the court held that the powers of the lieutenant governor to act as an administrator are restricted and applicable only in certain circumstances. Challenging the order, the Centre in its appeal said the single judge had erred in holding that the writ petitioner had locus standi to move such plea.
