Today, On 1st October, BJP councillor Raja Iqbal Singh withdrew his contempt petition against Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi, following the Supreme Court’s recommendation to approach the High Court instead. The petition accused the mayor of disobeying a prior court order related to MCD Standing Committee elections, which were delayed beyond the required timeframe.
Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi has filed a petition urging the Supreme Court to allow the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to function in the absence of its Standing Committee, due to prolonged political and legal disputes. This comes after the MCD’s attempts to address the governance deadlock faced criticism from the opposition party. The petition underscores the challenges of balancing legal proceedings with urgent governance needs in Delhi.
