9-Jan-2017: Supreme court turned down Telangana's plea against Krishna tribunal award
Supreme Court turned down the Telangana government's petition against a decision of the Krishna Water Dispute Tribunal-II to limit the re-allocation of the river water only to the two successor States of Andhra and Telangana, and not to dabble with the share of water enjoyed by the other two riparian States — Maharashtra and Karnataka.
Supreme court categorically refused to intervene with the decision of the Water Dispute Tribunal-II to confine the question of re-allocation of river water, post bifurcation of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh, to the two successor States of Telangana and Andhra and not all the four riparian States. The tribunal had decided that the details of the re-distribution would be decided as per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act of 2014 by an apex council headed by top officials.
