On August 12, the Delhi Cabinet had approved the distribution of enhanced compensation cheques of Rs 5 lakh each to the kin of 1984 anti-Sikh riot victims in the national capital, as announced by the Centre.
Centre will refund the compensation amount to the state government as it was their scheme. Delhi government has estimated expenditure of Rs 120 crore on compensation.

Besides, they are also believed to have discussed the issue of the Home Ministry's recent decision to term the setting up of 'Commission of Inquiry' by the state government as "illegal".

Later, Delhi government had refused to accept the decision, saying, "The Union Home ministry does not have the power to declare as void the Delhi government's probe into an alleged Rs 100-CNG fitness scam.
In his letter to Lt Governor Najeeb Jung last month, Sisodia had said, " Delhi government was neither a subordinate department of the Home ministry nor "accountable" to it...It is only the judiciary which has power to declare any order of GNCTD null and void.
