Cauvery dispute: Supreme Court Bench to hear Tamil Nadu’s plea on August 25

A three-judge Bench of the Supreme Court headed by Justice B.R. Gavai will on August 25 hear Tamil Nadu’s plea for the release of its allotment of Cauvery river water for the month of August. The other judges on the Bench are Justices P.S. Narasimha and P.K. Mishra.

Tamil Nadu has moved the Supreme Court seeking a direction to Karnataka to forthwith release 24,000 cusecs of Cauvery water from its reservoirs at Billigundulu for the remaining period of the month, starting from August 14.

The State said the release of water was a dire necessity to meet the pressing demands of standing crops.
