The Centre said there is no urgency for the Supreme Court to hear an application filed by the State of Kerala seeking interim reliefs, which include an injunction order to restrain the Union from curtailing the State from borrowing ₹26,226 crore to clear “unmet arrears and immediate obligations”.
Appearing before a Bench of Justices Surya Kant and KV Viswanathan, Attorney-General R. Venkataramani said that Kerala was just trying to “mask its failures”.
“You (State of Kerala) want the court’s indulgence. It is a gross failure on your part to say ‘please allow me to mask my failures and give an order in my favour’,” Mr. Venkataramani submitted.
