SC defers hearing on Babli dam row to Oct 3

September 18, 2012 18:33

The Supreme Court slated today October 3 as the date for final hearing the controversy over building of inter-state Babli irrigation dam and execution of other projects on Godavari by Maharashtra, which Andhra Pradesh says would adversely affect its Telangana region.

After briefly hearing the submissions of the two states, a three-judge bench of justices R M Lodha, T S Thakur and A R Dave said it would examine the matter at length from October 3 and then pass appropriate directions.

Appearing for Andhra Pradesh, senior counsel K Parasaran told the bench that Maharashtra government was also executing 11 other irrigation projects on river Godavari, besides building Babli dam in violation of the Central Water Commission orders.
