Karnataka HC Asks Govt To Explain If Cauvery Calling Project Was Approved By State

The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday directed the State government to file a proper supplementary statement in two weeks explaining whether it had approved the 'Cauvery Calling' project proposed by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev's Isha Foundation. However, a division bench led by Chief Justice Abhay Oka said "We find that proper documents are not annexed and proper explanation as contemplated by order dated June 11, is not furnished by the state government. Thus we direct the state to file a proper supplementary statement within two weeks from today and serve copies to all parties appearing." The bench is hearing the petition filed by advocate A V Amarnathan seeking directions to the foundation not to collect any funds from the public for the Cauvery calling project.
