Karnataka Assembly resolution on Cauvery dispute has no value: former SC judges

Former Supreme Court judges have termed the resolution passed by the two Houses of Karnataka on September 23 to deny Tamil Nadu Cauvery water merely an ill-advised misadventure.

They said the resolution was no match for the constitutional might of the Supreme Court as the final and sole arbiter of Inter-State and Inter-State water disputes.

Former Supreme Court judge, Justice K.T. Thomas said the “resolution is only to fit to be kept in the records of the Karnataka Legislature and has no authority.”

“At best, its [Karnataka Legislature] resolution can be treated as an expression of opinion or a criticism of the Supreme Court order. Everyone has the right to criticise a court order. But the Supreme Court is the final authority in resolving inter-State water disputes,” Justice Thomas said.
