Where the Supreme Court gave a decision in favor of the Delhi government on May 11 and made it clear that only the Delhi government can transfer and post the bureaucrats of Delhi. The Aam Aadmi Party had declared the Supreme Court’s decision as their victory, but their happiness did not last long as the central government brought the National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Ordinance, 2023.
