Delhi HC refuses to order special session of Assembly to table CAG report

The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to direct a sitting of the state assembly for tabling several CAG reports on governance. Justice Sachin Datta however said there was an "inordinate delay" on part of the Delhi government in the matter. The court underlined the tabling of the audit reports was mandatory under the Constitution. "The court is not inclined to accept the prayer of the petitioner to summon a special sitting of the assembly," it held. Opposition leader Vijender Gupta and BJP MLAs -- Mohan Singh Bisht, Om Prakash Sharma, Ajay Kumar Mahawar, Abhay Verma, Anil Kumar Bajpai and Jitendra Mahajan -- filed the petition last year and sought a direction to the speaker to call a sitting of the assembly for tabling the CAG reports. The petitioners filed the plea through advocates Neeraj and Satya Ranjan Swain. The senior lawyers for the speaker and the government opposed the court passing such a direction and said there was no urgency to table the reports at a stage when the

Justice Sachin Datta would pronounce the judgement. Opposition leader Vijender Gupta and BJP MLAs -- Mohan Singh Bisht, Om Prakash Sharma, Ajay Kumar Mahawar, Abhay Verma, Anil Kumar Bajpai and Jitendra Mahajan -- filed the petition last year and sought a direction to the speaker to call a sitting of the assembly for the purpose of tabling the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports.

7th Delhi Assembly met for 74 days over 5 yrs, lowest number till now: PRS

The 7th Delhi Assembly convened for just 74 days over its five-year term, the lowest number compared to all previous assemblies, according to a report by the think tank PRS Legislative Research. The report states that the assembly sessions were called every year and divided into several parts. Within each year, sessions were adjourned without prorogation and were divided into parts. This resulted in the House meeting for only one or two days on several occasions, the report said. While the Lieutenant Governor summons and prorogues sessions, it is the Speaker who calls for sittings during a session, the report added. The first session of the 7th Delhi Assembly began on February 20, 2020, and was prorogued on March 3, 2021, after being held in five parts. The second session commenced on March 3, 2021, and was prorogued on March 8, 2022, after four parts. The third session began on March 8, 2022, and was prorogued on March 9, 2023, also after four parts. The fourth session was calle
