Sacred duty of citizens to obey court order: SC on Cauvery protests

Firstpost  

The apex court was irked over the contention of Karnataka that the “law and order” situation and state-wide protests led it to file the fresh plea seeking to keep in abeyance the 5 September order that had asked it to release 15,000 cusecs of Cauvery water per day to Tamil Nadu till 16 September. It said when a court of law passes an order, it is the “sacred” duty of citizens to obey it and if there is any grievance, they are obliged to take permissible legal recourse. Terming the “law and order” ground taken by Karnataka as “absolutely disturbing” and “totally deprecable”, it said that the averments in the application “cannot be conceived of to be filed in a court of law”. The Karnataka government, in its plea, said the application for modification of the September 5 order is “necessitated due to the spontaneous agitations” in the various parts of Karnataka including Bangalore, Mandya, Mysore and Hassan in the Cauvery basin and these have paralysed normal life, besides causing destruction of public and private properties.
