One-liner: The Supreme Court on Wednesday said the govts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu might have political compulsion outside but both states should behave like any normal litigant before the court in the matter related to the 126-year-old Mullaperiyar dam.
Court not concerned: The apex court observed that these states are making statements and political observations against each other but the court is not concerned with that.
Who is the best judge: The bench observed that the supervisory committee is the best judge to take a call on this aspect and it would take into account the request for release of water and also on whether there is a need for that.
What TN govt says: The Tamil Nadu govt had told the apex court that repeated assertion by Kerala to seek decommissioning of the dam is wholly impermissible as the dam is hydrologically, structurally, and seismically safe.
