The Supreme Court today pulled up Centre and Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung for delay in taking decision regarding government formation in Delhi.

The Court said, in a democracy, President's Rule can't go on forever. Lieutenant Governor should have taken decision on government formation at the earliest and should not have taken 5 months time.

However, Centre told the Court that President has allowed Lieutenant Governor's proposal to invite BJP to form government but the apex court said that it will hear AAP's plea on merit on the issue. The Supreme Court made the observation after resuming the hearing of Aam Admi Party's plea on government formation in Delhi.

Delhi has been under President's rule since Arvind Kejriwal resigned as the Chief Minister on February 14 after being in office for 49 days.
