Can the President make an order under article 239AB without consulting with the Lieutenant Governor or other stakeholders?
No, the President cannot make an order under article 239AB without consulting with the Lieutenant Governor or other stakeholders. The provisions of Article 239AB state that if the President is satisfied that a situation has arisen in which the administration of the National Capital Territory cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of Article 239AA, he may suspend the operation of any provision of Article 239AA or make incidental and consequential provisions for administering the National Capital Territory. This implies that the President must consult with the Lieutenant Governor or other stakeholders to determine the necessity of suspending or making new provisions for the administration of the National Capital Territory.
