Earlier, the Delhi Government had approached the Court after Lt. Gov. Najeeb Jung had appointed Meena, without even consulting the Delhi Government. However, the Court refused to grant the interim relief as asked by the Delhi Government.Arvind Kejirwal’s government had challenged the appointment in Court, saying that the Lt. Gov. does not have the power to appoint bureaucrats in Delhi. The Delhi Government had appointed SS Yadav to head its Anti Corrpuption Bureau, but the Lt.
