Delhi LG Approves Executive Magistrate Powers for Revenue and Administrative Officers
Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu has approved executive magistrate powers for key administrative and revenue officers, including Deputy Commissioners, Additional District Magistrates, Revenue Assistants, Tehsildars, and Consolidation Officers, within their restructured jurisdictions. This decision follows the recent reorganisation of revenue districts and is based on Section 14 of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023, which replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure. The move aims to enhance governance, law and order, and public service delivery across Delhi's newly structured districts, with powers delegated to the LG by the Union Home Ministry.
