National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi continues to be a Union Territory

Delhi High Court on 4 August 2016 held that Lt. Governor is the administrative head of the National Capital Territory.
•    A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Jayant Nath dismissed AAP Government's plea challenging the Union Government’s 21 May 2015 notification giving absolute powers to LG in appointing bureaucrats in the national capital.
•    The court said AAP government's contention that LG is bound to act on advice of Council of Ministers is without any substance and cannot be accepted.
•    AAP Government had contended that the notification barring Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) from proceeding against Central Government employees is neither illegal nor unsustainable.
•    Ruling that the Service matters were outside the jurisdiction of Delhi Legislative Assembly, the court said that LG exercising the powers is not unconstitutional.
•    The court also held as illegal AAP government’s order appointing Commission of Inquiry in the CNG fitness scam and DDCA scam since the same was issued without concurrence of LG.
