CHENNAI: Stung via the reluctance of the Centre to set up the Cauvery control board, the state executive has determined to tug Cabinet secretary P K Sinha and water assets secretary U P Singh to the Supreme Court for willful disobedience of its order that gave six weeks time to set up the board. While TN PWD secretary S K Prabhakar, who has left for Delhi, will report the TN’s contempt petition in the SC registry on Saturday, the Centre would possibly move the court at the same day in quest of explanation at the word ‘scheme’ mentioned in the order, and, in step with resources, would possibly search two months time to fulfill the order. Meanwhile, Puducherry executive too would possibly report a contempt petition in the apex court.
Cauvery board: Puducherry executive would possibly report contempt plea in opposition to Centre
"Tamil Nadu’s prayer will probably be to summon the respondents for his or her willful disobedience and purge the contempt via giving them instructions to conform. Pass some other order as court deems are compatible,” mentioned an legitimate source. The state may also search instructions to the Centre to represent Cauvery Management Board and thereafter Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (to assist the board), as really helpful via the Cauvery water disputes tribunal in its ultimate award in 2007.
The timing of the SC Cauvery order — in the run up to Karnataka elections — is the most likely explanation why for Modi executive to put off a choice on taking a decision on setting up the mechanism. “It is learnt the Centre will search explanation on whether or not the authority to resolve the Cauvery dispute must be at the lines of Bhakra Beas Management Board or Narmada Control Authority. Secondly, as an alternative of a major engineer to helm the board, the Centre also needs to know can there be a retiredIAS legitimate as chair,” mentioned a extremely placed source. Former Union water assets secretary and Gujarat cadre retired bureaucrat, Amarjeet Singh’s identify is doing the roundsin Delhi. In February, the apex court directed the Centre to frame a ‘scheme’ toimplement itsorder.
In its petition, the state executive will recall the occasions resulting in contempt ever since a three-judge SC bench headed via CJI Dipak Misra delivered its verdict, making it clear that “no extension might be granted for framing of the scheme on any ground.” Tamil Nadu’s competition is that below Section 6(2) of Inter-State Water DisputesAct, 1956, the decision of the tribunal, after its newsletter in the legitimate gazette via the Centre, has the same power as an order or decreeof the Supreme Court. Therefore, CMB and CWRC must beset up. Karnataka strongly dislikes board because it takes away its authority to keep an eye on water unlock in its reservoirs. The Siddaramaiah executive, as an alternative suggests Cauvery Decision Implementation Committee headed via Union water assets minister and a 11-member monitoring company led via water assets secretary.
Meanwhile, on its part, the Puducherry executive too will discover the feasibility of submitting a contempt of court plea in opposition to Union executive for failing to honour the Supreme Court’s order to represent Cauvery control board and Cauvery water regulation committee, mentioned leader minister VNarayanasamy.
Speaking to newshounds on Friday he mentioned he consulted with the advocates in New Delhi, who gave the impression for the Puducherry executive, and sought their advice at the long run courseof action as thesixweek time limit set via the Supreme Court for theUnion executive to represent the board and committeeendedon March29.
