New Delhi: The Supreme
Court Wednesday directed Karnataka to supply 10,000 cusecs of Cauvery water daily to Tamil Nadu for the next five days.
Besides this, the apex court bench of Justice D.K. Jain and
Justice Madan B. Lokur said the Cauvery River Monitoring Authority
would hold its meeting either Thursday or Friday to decide on the
quantum of water that Karnataka would be releasing to Tamil Nadu
after five days.
The court said the authority would also keep in mind the standing
crops in the lower riparian state.
The court order came during the hearing on a batch of petitions
and applications filed by Tamil Nadu and Karnataka on the issue of
daily release of 9,000 cusecs of water from Cauvery for the
former.
The Cauvery River Authority headed by the prime minister in an
interim award Sep 19 directed Karnataka to release 9,000 cusecs of
Cauvery water every day.
Resuming his arguments, senior counsel Anil Divan, appearing for
Karnataka, questioned the maintainability of the application by
Tamil Nadu in its present form.
Tamil Nadu earlier sought to give a political colour to the whole
issue when it alleged that with its eyes on Karnataka assembly
election next year, the central government may not push Karnataka
to release water for Tamil Nadu as directed by the authority.
Tamil Nadu Tuesday had contended that its standing crops would
perish if Cauvery water was not released immediately.
