The Supreme Court observed that Article 170 of the Constitution deals with only the State Legislature and thus has no application to the Legislatures of Union Territories.
Legislative Assemblies of the concerned Union Territories will be governed by the law made by the Parliament in accordance with Article 239A and not by the provisions of Chapter III of Part VI, the bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Abhay S Oka observed.
