SC: Delhi L-G can decide on fresh polls

  • 5 years ago
Emphasising on "people's right to have a democratically elected government", the Supreme Court on Thursday issued a "legal clarification" that the Lt-Governor was empowered to call fresh polls in Delhi, without having to wait for the one-year term of proclamation of President's rule to end.
