File application on water needs, Supreme Court asks Tamil Nadu

The Hindu  

With the talks between Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka ending in a stalemate on November 29, the Supreme Court on Friday asked Tamil Nadu to file an application by Saturday giving a realistic assessment on the requirement of water from December 1 to 15 to save the samba crop in the State. When Mr. Justice Jain asked Mr. Vaidyanathan what happened at yesterday’s meeting, the counsel said “meeting took place, but no result.” When Mr. Justice Lokur wanted to know whether there was a meaningful dialogue or a meaningless dialogue, counsel said “end result is talks failed.” He said “Karnataka’s attempt is somehow to delay.” However, Mr. Justice Jain said “don’t say only courts had saved you, Cauvery River Authority and Cauvery Monitoring Committee had also given some directions.” When Mr. Justice Jain wanted to know whether the CMC meeting was held, senior counsel Anil Divan, appearing for Karnataka, said in view of the Chief Ministers’ meeting, the CMC meeting did not take place. Mr. Vaidyanathan said “Tamil Nadu lost its kuruvai crop and because of delay in release of water by Karnataka, there is a possibility of samba crop also being lost.” He said there was storage of 48 tmcft of water in Karnataka at present. How much water is needed by Tamil Nadu to save the crops?” counsel said “we need a minimum of 30 tmcft at the rate of two tmcft a day for 15 days from December 1 to 15.” Mr. Justice Jain told the counsel “can you give us a note with supporting documents your requirements by tomorrow so that we come prepared on Monday.” Mr. Divan and Counsel Mohan Katarki for Karnataka said the State had at present storage of 37 tmcft and 33 tmcft was likely to accumulate up to December 15.
