Case History
Case Summary: State of Karnataka v. Union of India, W.P.(C) No. 408/2008 On 17 December 2008, the Supreme Court heard Karnataka's writ petition challenging the effective date of the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal's constitution. The Union of India's Additional Solicitor General submitted that although the Tribunal was constituted on 2 April 2004, it could only effectively function from 1 February 2006, requesting that date be treated as the effective date. The Court accepted this submission and directed that the effective date of constitution of the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal under Section 3 of the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, 1956, would be 1 February 2006, disposing of the petition accordingly.
