On Friday, the Supreme Court will announce the crucial verdict regarding the Cauvery Water dispute case between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The Bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra along with Justices Amitava Roy and Khanwilkar will announce the verdict.
In January, the Apex Court stated it would deliver the verdict for the decades old case within a month. It further added enough confusion was created about the Cauvery basin and a decision would soon be made.
The dispute over water from the Cauvery has heightened over the years. This is because the water is not just a source of drinking but also for agricultural purposes. Kerala and the Union Territory of Puducherry are also involved in the dispute.
