The Delhi High Court on Monday ruled that the city government's Anti Corruption Branch has the "jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute" Delhi Police officials, and dismissed the bail plea of a head constable arrested by it on corruption charges. Justice Sanghi said that the Lt. Governor must act on the aid and advice of the council of ministers and that the mandate of the people, with whom the sovereign power resides, must be respected by the Lt. Governor in respect of matters which fall within the domain of the legislative assembly.
