The Tamil Nadu government on Wednesday moved the Supreme Court seeking launch of contempt of court proceeding against Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar and others for allegedly defying the court's order to supply 9,000 cusecs of water from the Cauvery river to the state.
In its application filed through counsel Umapathi Ganesh, Tamil Nadu contended that Karnataka has deliberately violated the apex court's September 28 directive to supply water to the state and hence has committed wilful contempt of the court.
Tamil Nadu said despite the apex court's order, Karnataka has stopped the water supply, pushing the state to a further distressed situation.
On the last date of hearing, Karnataka counsel Fali S
Nariman had told the court that the state will not be able to release any more water.
The apex court's September 28 order had come after the CRA meeting of September 19 had failed to produce a solution as both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu had rejected the award of 9,000 cusecs of water by the PM-headed panel to save the standing crops in the delta region
