The conundrum of constitutional morality: Delhi’s Chief Minister versus Lieutenant Governor

The Supreme Court’s ruling in Delhi’s chief minister (CM) versus lieutenant governor (LG) tussle has been met with an Ordinance by the Union government. The author opines that while legality is imperative, one must strive to uphold constitutional morality, as did former President of India K.R. Narayanan and the first law Minister of India Dr B.R. Ambedkar. The author argues that India is gradually witnessing an erosion of the latter.
