a bench headed by Chief Justice G Rohini said.<\/p>\n<p>The special constitutional provision of Article 239AA dealing with Delhi does not &#8220;dilute&#8221; the effect of Article 239 which relates to the Union territory and hence, concurrence of the LG in administrative issues is &#8220;mandatory&#8221;, the high court said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On a conjoint reading of Article 239AA and the provisions of the Government of NCT of Delhi Act, 1991 and the Rules made thereunder, it becomes manifest that Delhi continues to be a Union territory&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As is evident from the legal position noticed above, though a specific constitutional provision has been inserted by the Constitution (69th Amendment) Act, 1991 to deal with the administration of the National Capital Territory of Delhi, it continues to be a Union territory and does not acquire the status of a state,&#8221; the bench, also comprising Justice Jayant Nath, said.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to a Constitution bench judgement of the Supreme Court, the high court agreed with the contention that Delhi, which is called the &#8216;National Capital Territory of Delhi&#8217;, is yet a Union territory.<\/p>\n<p>It said that the Constitution provides for demarcation of powers between the Centre and the states and according to Part VIII of the Constitution, which deals with the powers for administration of UTs, the Union territories will be governed by the President acting through an administrator.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thus, Delhi admittedly is a Union territory and shall be governed by the provisions enumerated under Part VIII of the Constitution,&#8221;
