The Delhi HC's intervention has led to a complete quorum of New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), said Lawyer Amit Sahni appearing for the petitioner who had recently sought to appoint four members of NDMC so that the quorum of thirteen members was complete for its efficacious functioning.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has nominated 4 members to NDMC on Thursday. In a notification issued by the ministry, the former President of Delhi Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) Satish Upadhyay has been nominated as vice-chairperson. Besides, state BJP general secretary Kuljeet Singh Chahal, former Delhi BJP vice-president Vishakha Sailani & Girish Sachdeva have been nominated as other members.
Recently, the High Court of Delhi had issued notice to the Centre & Delhi Govt on a plea seeking to appoint four members of the NDMC so that the quorum of thirteen members is complete.
The lawyer arguing on behalf of petitioners contended that even though the Act clearly mandates that the Council should consist of 13 members, NDMC was functioning with nine members as the central Govt was yet to nominate 4 members & Vice-President.
