Amidst divergent views of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry over framing of a scheme and constitution of a scheme for implementation of Supreme Court verdict on the Cauvery water dispute, the Centre has now approached the apex court seeking clarification on whether it has the powers to prepare a scheme at variance with the one recommended by the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal. In its application, the Centre urged the court to “clarify whether it is open to the central government to frame the scheme under 6 of the Interstate River Disputes Act of 1956 at variance with the recommendations contained in the report of CWDT regarding Cauvery management board”. It stated that Tamil Nadu has stated that the scheme as mentioned by the apex court has been clearly defined in section 6 of the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, 1956 and the CWDT has in its order in chapter 8 laid down parameters for constitution of Board and recommended Cauvery Management Board and the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee for implementing its decisions.
