Justice R.S. Endlaw was told by the
government that the report along with a memorandum of action taken on
the commission’s recommendations was placed before the lt. governor, who
ordered it to be laid before the Delhi legislative assembly.
The court in September asked the Delhi
government to inform it whether it would table in the upcoming assembly
session the 4th Finance Commission recommendations on improving the
financial condition of civic bodies.
Filing an affidavit in the court, the
Delhi government said: “The process for placing the report before
legislative assembly during the current session has already been
initiated.”
The court was hearing a plea filed by
BJP legislator Vijender Gupta seeking direction to the Delhi government
to “immediately implement” the recommendations of the 4th Finance
Commission of Delhi which was constituted in 2009 to decide the share of
municipal corporations in the total revenue of the capital.
