The order is passed even before the new government takes over reins in Delhi. The AAP government is accused of appointing party members and close aides of ministers to various non-official posts allegedly bypassing established laws and government regulations.

The services department has received a list of non-official appointees from several departments. After being compiled, the list will be forwarded to the chief secretary for further order. The former HoDs and secretaries have been directed to prepare a list of non-official appointments of chairpersons and members made by the AAP government.
