Supreme Court defers hearing on Tamil Nadu Cauvery water plea to August 17

The Supreme Court of India has rescheduled a hearing regarding Tamil Nadu's request for water releases from Karnataka to August 17. The delay follows the illness of Justice Vikram Nath, who was slated to lead the bench. The case concerns a plea for Karnataka to comply with a July 30 directive from the Cauvery Water Management Authority to release 3,500 cusecs of water for 15 days from its Kabini and Krishna Raja Sagara reservoirs.

What Happened

The Supreme Court of India postponed a scheduled hearing on a plea filed by Tamil Nadu regarding the release of Cauvery river water. The matter was originally set for August 13 but was moved to August 17 after Justice Vikram Nath, who is designated to head the bench, fell ill with a viral fever. The court confirmed that the proceedings will resume once the judge returns to work next week.

Tamil Nadu is seeking judicial intervention to ensure that Karnataka complies with a July 30 order issued by the Cauvery Water Management Authority. The authority had directed Karnataka to release 3,500 cusecs of water over a 15-day period from its Kabini and Krishna Raja Sagara reservoirs. The case has also seen procedural changes, including the recusal of Justice V Mohana from the bench.
