" 511B Special provisions as to transferred function. --(1) In this Section, "transferred functions" means such functions of the Corporation which immediately before the commencement of the Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Act, 1993 were the functions of the Corporation but as from such commencement become the functions of any other authority or functionary hereinafter called the "new authority".

Learned Counsel for the Petitioner, that this Section has been violated since Respondent No. 3 is not in the service of the Government in a Class I post. However, no material evidence is available on the file to substantiate this contention which is therefore the ipsi dixit of Mr. Sharma. It must be borne in mind that the Petitioner has sought the issuance of a writ of quo warranto, and as observed in A.N. Shastri case (supra) the High Court in such proceedings should be slow to pronounce upon the matter unless there is a clear infringement of the law. It is, therefore, sanguine for Mr. K.K. Sharma to expect the Court to proceed in the matter on an argument which is predicated merely on his ipsi dixit. Mr. K.K. Sharma was unable to locate even a bare statement in the writ petition averring that the post of Deputy Chief Legal Advisor is a category A post and that Respondent No. 3 does not serve the concerned Government in a Class I post.
