“Proposals for extension of contractual tenures of staff in various Delhi Government Hospitals and acceptance of resignation of a Group ‘A’ staff of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Hospital, sent to LG for approval, have been returned back with the observation that the Departments may be advised to take appropriate action / further necessary action, in light of the judgment of CB in Apex Court on 11.05.2023,” the LG office said in a statement.
The move comes after a Supreme Court judgment placed the control of bureaucrats working with the Delhi government (excluding those related to police, public order, and land) under the elected government. Earlier, transfers and postings of all Delhi government officers were decided by the Lieutenant Governor.
