Earlier on Monday, the Delhi government had issued a show-cause notice to services department secretary Ashish More for not complying with its direction to replace him with a new officer.
Delhi’s Services Secretary Ashish More was removed from his post on Thursday hours after the Supreme Court ruled that control of ‘services’, or appointments and transfer of officials, vests in the Delhi government, not the lieutenant governor.
