Presenting its case before the Supreme Court in the Palar river issue, Tamil Nadu has sought both permanent and mandatory injunction against increase in the height of the check dams. It said new check dams should only be constructed after taking the prior consent of Tamil Nadu.
The State wants the court to intervene against any steps taken by Andhra for additional water storage. It further wants the court to direct the Union Ministry of Water Resources to intervene with Andhra Pradesh. The suit argued that the Centre is duty-bound to ensure that none of the riparian States steal a march over the other.
