NOTIFICATION
New Delhi, the 21st May, 2015
S.O. 1368(E).—Whereas article 239 of the Constitution provides that every Union Territory shall be
administered by the President acting, to such extent as he thinks fit, through an administrator to be appointed
by him with such designation as he may specify;
And whereas article 239AA inserted by ‘the Constitution (Sixty-ninth Amendment) Act, 1991’
provides that the Union Territory of Delhi shall be called the National Capital Territory of Delhi and the
administrator thereof appointed under article 239 shall be designated as the Lieutenant Governor;
And whereas sub-clause (a) of clause (3) of article 239AA states that the Legislative Assembly shall
have power to make laws for the whole or any part of the National Capital Territory with respect to any of the
matters enumerated in the State List or in the Concurrent List in so far as any such matter is applicable to
Union Territories except matters with respect to Entries 1, 2 and 18 of the State List and Entries 64, 65 and 66
of that List in so far as they relate to the said Entries 1, 2 and 18; and whereas Entry 1 relates to ‘Public
Order’, Entry 2 relates to ‘Police’ and Entry 18 relates to ‘Land’.
And whereas sub-clause (a) of clause (3) of article 239AA also qualifies the matters enumerated in
the State List or in the Concurrent List in so far as any such matter is applicable to Union Territories. Under
this provision, a reference may be made to Entry 41 of the State List which deals with the State Public
Services, State Public Service Commission which do not exist in the National Capital Territory of Delhi.
Further, the Union Territories Cadre consisting of Indian Administrative Service and Indian Police
Service personnel is common to Union Territories of Delhi, Chandigarh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands,
Lakshadweep, Daman and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Puducherry and States of Arunachal Pradesh, Goa
and Mizoram which is administered by the Central Government through the Ministry of Home Affairs; and
similarly DANICS and DANIPS are common services catering to the requirement of the Union Territories of
Daman & Diu, Dadra Nagar Haveli, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep including the National
Capital Territory of Delhi which is also administered by the Central Government through the Ministry of
Home Affairs. As such, it is clear that the National Capital Territory of Delhi does not have its own State
Public Services. Thus, ‘Services’ will fall within this category.4 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
And whereas it is well established that where there is no legislative power, there is no executive
power since executive power is co-extensive with legislative power.
And whereas matters relating to Entries 1, 2 & 18 of the State List being ‘Public Order’, ‘Police’ and
‘Land’ respectively and Entries 64, 65 & 66 of that list in so far as they relate to Entries 1, 2 & 18 as also
‘Services’ fall outside the purview of Legislative Assembly of the National Capital Territory of Delhi and
consequently the Government of NCT of Delhi will have no executive power in relation to the above and
further that power in relation to the aforesaid subjects vests exclusively in the President or his delegate i.e. the
Lieutenant Governor of Delhi.
Now, therefore, in accordance with the provisions contained in article 239 and sub-clause (a) of
clause (3) of 239AA, the President hereby directs that -
(i) subject to his control and further orders, the Lieutenant Governor of the National Capital
Territory of Delhi, shall in respect of matters connected with ‘Public Order’, ‘Police’, ‘Land’
and ‘Services’ as stated hereinabove, exercise the powers and discharge the functions of the
Central Government, to the extent delegated to him from time to time by the President.
Provided that the Lieutenant Governor of the National Capital Territory of Delhi may, in his
discretion, obtain the views of the Chief Minister of the National Capital Territory of Delhi in
regard to the matter of ‘Services’ wherever he deems it appropriate.
2. In the Notification number F. 1/21/92-Home (P) Estt. 1750 dated 8th November, 1993, as
amended vide notification dated 23rd July, 2014 bearing No. 14036/4/2014-Delhi-I (Pt. File), for paragraph 2
the following paragraph shall be substituted, namely:—
“2. This notification shall only apply to officials and employees of the National Capital
Territory of Delhi subject to the provisions contained in the article 239AA of the
Constitution.”
after paragraph 2 the following paragraph shall be inserted, namely:—
“3. The Anti-Corruption Branch Police Station shall not take any cognizance of offences
against Officers, employees and functionaries of the Central Government”.
3. This Notification supersedes earlier Notification number S.O. 853(E) [F. No. U-11030/2/98-
UTL] dated 24th September, 1998 except as respects things done or omitted to be done before such
supersession.
