Delhi Services Minister Atishi has objected to the restructuring of DASS cadre by Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena as a “complete violation” of the Supreme Court order and the GNCTD (Amendment) Act, 2023, in the latest flashpoint between the AAP dispensation and Raj Niwas.
Earlier this month, the Lieutenant Governor approved the restructuring of the Delhi Administration Subordinate Services (DASS) cadre fulfilling a long pending demand of officials.
In her letter to the LG on August 20, Atishi objected to the move, citing the Supreme Court verdict on May 11 and the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) Amendment Act, 2023.
“I must state that this turn of events is extremely unfortunate as your approval is in complete violation of the Constitution Bench judgment dated 11.05.2023, as well as the GNCTD (Amendment) Act, 2023,” she said.
