In Govt. of NCT of Delhi v. Union of India, which of the following propositions were laid down by the Constitution Bench?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Decisions of ministers within their lawful governmental domain bind the civil servants working under them. The Constitution Bench explained the chain of democratic accountability: officials answer to ministers, ministers to the legislature, and the legislature to the electorate. This holding concerns control within the government’s permitted sphere, including the constitutional exclusions, rather than a blanket rule about every matter referred by the Lieutenant Governor.
