Cauvery: SC rejects Karnataka's review to release 6,000 cusecs water
The Supreme Court has rejected Karnataka's review plea in the Cauvery waters case. Karnataka has sought a review of the SC order directing the state to release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu.
Karnataka had filed a review against three orders of the court. The orders had directed the constitution of a Cauvery Water Management Board. It also sought review of the order directing Karnataka to release 6,000 cusecs of water till October 6.
Karnataka contended that the court had committed an error in directing the centre to constitute the Board. Further Karnataka stated that further water release orders from the reservoirs of Karnataka would "cause irreparable injury" to Karnataka as once the release are made from the reservoirs of the state, the water cannot be retrieved in case of good normal North-East monsoon.
