<p>The central government in India on Friday (May 19) issued an ordinance to constitute the 'National Capital Civil Services Authority' in the national capital.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The ordinance comprises of Delhi CM, Chief Secy and Home Secy of the Delhi government and it will now decide on the transfer and posting of Group 'A' officers and DANICS officers serving in Delhi government.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Provided also that in case of difference of opinion, the decision of the Lieutenant Governor shall be final," the order read.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The ordinance comes a week after the Indian Supreme Court (SC) handed over the control of services in the national capital to the Delhi government. Police, public order and land were excluded.&nbsp;</p>

<p>SC heard the Centre versus the Delhi government case over the demarcation of power. A constitution bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said an elected government needs to have control over the administration.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"All matters required to be decided by the authority shall be decided by a majority of votes of the members present and voting. All recommendations of the authority shall be authenticated by the member secretary," the ordinance said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The ordinance said that "there shall be an authority to be known as the National Capital Civil Service Authority to exercise the powers conferred on, and discharge the functions assigned to it".&nbsp;</p>

India: AAP reacts after Centre issues ordinance to place services under Delhi govt's control

<p>Indian Supreme Court ruled on Thursday (May 11) that the New Delhi government has legislative and executive powers over services, a massive boost to the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)'s government in the capital of the nation, which trmed the verdict a "victory of democracy".&nbsp;</p>

<p>SC heard the Centre versus the Delhi government case over the demarcation of power. A constitution bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said an elected government needs to have control over the administration — a decision opposite to Justice Ashok Bhushan's 2019 judgment that the city government has no power over the issue of services.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The constitution bench was set up to hear the legal issue concerning the scope of legislative and executive powers of the Centre and the National Capital Territory government over control of services in Delhi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>AAP's leader and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal hailed the decision, as he said, "Heartfelt thanks to the Hon'ble Supreme Court for doing justice to the people of Delhi." Kejriwal added in a tweet in Hindi, "With this decision, the pace of development of Delhi will increase manifold. Democracy won."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The officials have said that Kejriwal will go to the Delhi Secretariat for the first time in many months and hold a meeting with his cabinet after the top court verdict. The party said that the Lt Governor will have no power over the officers to stop the work of the people of Delhi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>AAP Rajya Sabha Raghav Chadha called the verdict a "landmark decision". In a tweet, Chadha wrote: "Satyamev Jayate. Delhi wins. Hon'ble Supreme Court's landmark judgment sends a stern message that officers working with the government of Delhi are meant to serve (the) people of Delhi through the elected government and not unelected usurpers parachuted by Centre to stall governance, namely LG."&nbsp;</p>
