'Supreme Court verdict against Constitution, I can't even transfer peon,' says Arvind Kejriwal

In a setback for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, a two-bench Supreme Court bench comprising Justices AK Sikri and Ashok Bhushan, ruled that the Anti-Corruption Bureau will remain with the Lieutenant Governor, thereby with the Centre. The judgment on appointment and transfer of bureaucrat so far shows that L-G Anil Baijal has emerged as the ultimate winner. The top court said that it is the Centre and not the Delhi government that has the powers to order investigations against corrupt officers in the capital. Following a split verdict, the court left the decision on who controls Delhi officers to a higher bench.
