Court to pronounce decision on petition challenging recent changes to the contentious project resolution.
The Madras High Court has reserved its verdict on a petition contesting an amendment made to the resolution concerning the Mekedatu project. The bench, after hearing arguments from all involved parties, announced that it would deliver its judgment at a later date.
The plea was filed challenging specific modifications introduced to the resolution pertaining to the proposed Mekedatu dam. Details of the specific amendment under contention were presented during the court proceedings.
The Mekedatu project, proposed by Karnataka across the Cauvery river, has been a long-standing point of contention between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, primarily due to concerns over water sharing and downstream riparian rights. The High Court’s decision is now keenly awaited by stakeholders from both states.
