Don’t listen to them, Tamil Nadu tells apex court

Tamil Nadu moved the Supreme Court on Monday seeking an extraordinary prayer not to hear any application from Karnataka relating to Cauvery water dispute till it complied with the directions of the apex court to release 42,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu, from September 21 to 27.

In its application, which is to come up for hearing on Tuesday before a bench of Justices Dipak Misra and Uday Lalit, Tamil Nadu also wanted the court not to hear the appeal filed by Karnataka challenging the final award of the Cauvery water disputes Tribunal on October 18, when all the appeals are listed for hearing. It said the conscious refusal by the state of Karnataka to comply with the order is unjust and untenable
