The Supreme Court questioned the “tearing hurry” on the part of the lieutenant governor’s office to exercise executive powers for holding the election for the sixth member of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s Standing Committee.

A bench of Justices P S Narasimha and R Mahadevan asked the LG’s office to not hold elections for the post of chairman of the Standing Committee till it hears the plea of Mayor Shelly Oberoi against the September 27 Standing Committee polls.
