‘Rise above political bickering’, SC to Delhi L-G, CM

New Delhi, Agencies: The Supreme Court on Monday asked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena to rise above "political bickering" and discuss who could head the national capital's power regulator DERC, saying the two constitutional functionaries should get down to "serious work of governance” away from glare of publicity.

In a bid to break the deadlock over naming a retired judge for the DERC post, a bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasimha suggested that the CM and the LG should meet and sit down together on Tuesday and reach a consensus.
