Without seeking lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung’s approval, the Delhi government on Wedn-esday issued a notification for setting up of a Commission of Inquiry, headed by former solicitor-general Gopal Subramanium, to probe alleged corruption in Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) between 1992 and 2015, and asked it to submit its report within three months. The government’s move may trigger another round of face-off between the AAP dispensation led by Arvind Kejriwal and the Centre as the former had not sought approval from lieutenant-governor Najeeb Jung for forming such a probe panel.
Sources at the L-G office said that the AAP government has not sought Mr Jung’s approval for constituting the probe panel and has gone ahead with the notification. “The nortification has been issued without seeking LG’s approval. The government did not send any proposal to constitute such a commission,” a source said.
