CJI agrees to constitute Bench to hear Cauvery water release pleas. TN Govt seeks direction to Karnataka to release 24,000 cusecs of Cauvery water.
Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud on August 21 agreed to constitute a Bench to hear Cauvery water release pleas today.
The Tamil Nadu Government on August 14 moved the Supreme Court seeking a direction to Karnataka to forthwith release 24,000 cusecs of Cauvery water from its reservoirs, at Biligundlu for the remaining period of the month, starting from August 14.
The State had earlier said the release of water is a dire necessity to meet the pressing demands of the standing crops.
Tamil Nadu urged the court to direct Karnataka to ensure the stipulated releases for the month of September 2023 (36.76 tmc ft) as per the Cauvery Tribunal award as modified by the Supreme Court in 2018.
The State said Karnataka should make good the shortfall of 28.849 tmc ft water during the current irrigation year for the period from June 1 to July 31.
It asked the court to direct the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) to ensure that the directions issued to Karnataka to release water to Tamil Nadu were “fully implemented and the stipulated monthly releases during the remaining period of the current water year are fully given effect to by the State of Karnataka”.
Tamil Nadu said that Karnataka had to ensure to make good the deficit in water supply from Biligundlu as on August 9, which was 37.971 tmc ft in addition to the demand of around 24,000 cusecs, in the month of August.
