PM can decide on Cauvery petition: Supreme Court - NewsX

Holding that agitations do not serve any purpose, The Supreme Court today said its order directing Karnataka to supply 9,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu will not be an impediment in the Prime Minister deciding on the review petition filed before the Cauvery River Authority. A bench of justices D K Jain and Madan B Lokur ticked off Karnataka saying that various agitations on the issue would not serve the purpose as sometimes it may be counter- productive. "All these agitations don't serve any purpose. Sometimes they may spoil a good case," the bench told Karnataka in an oblique reference to the on-going agitations in the state over release of water to Tamil Nadu. The bench was dealing with an application moved by Karnataka seeking stay on the apex court's September 28 order directing release of 9,000 cusecs of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu. Senior counsel Fali Nariman, appearing for Karnataka, sought deferment of the hearing of the application till October 28.
