The Supreme Court on Wednesday reserved its verdict on a petition from the Delhi government challenging Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena's power to nominate aldermen in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), reported PTI. The bench, including Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, said giving this power to the L-G would mean that they could destabilize a democratically elected civic body.
