Supreme Court to hear Tamil Nadu plea on Cauvery water release on August 13

The Supreme Court of India has scheduled a hearing for August 13 regarding a petition filed by the Tamil Nadu government. The state is seeking a directive for Karnataka to release its share of Cauvery river water, citing non-compliance with the recommendations of the Cauvery Water Management Authority and the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee. A bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant agreed to take up the matter on Thursday after Tamil Nadu counsel argued that the state is not receiving its allocated water share during a year of rainfall deficit.

What Happened

The Supreme Court of India will hear a petition from the Tamil Nadu government on August 13 concerning the release of Cauvery river water. The bench, consisting of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana, scheduled the hearing after Tamil Nadu counsel requested urgent intervention. The state government alleges that Karnataka has failed to release the water as mandated by the Cauvery Water Management Authority and the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee.

The dispute centers on the release of 3,500 cusecs of water per day from the Kabini and Krishna Raja Sagara reservoirs. Tamil Nadu officials contend that the state is facing a water shortage due to rainfall deficits and requires the court to ensure Karnataka complies with existing water-sharing directives. The legal proceedings follow a petition filed by Tamil Nadu on August 3 to address the ongoing distribution conflict between the two states.
