Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government seems ready for a confrontation over its pet proposal - the anti-corruption Jan Lokpal bill - after a top lawyer's advice that the Delhi government has to seek the Centre's approval before it tries to enact the bill.

The Chief Minister today said, "We will write to the Lieutenant-Governor about it." His party pointed out that they had consulted several senior lawyers who had told them that the Delhi government could go ahead with legislation without having to seek the Centre's nod.

Mohan Parasaran, the Solicitor General, has told Lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung that before the Delhi legislature debates or votes on the bill, it must be cleared by the Union Home Ministry, as the Lokpal or the ombudsman agency that is created by the bill will be funded at least in part by the Union government.
