Kerala's plea on Mullaperiyar dam verdict rejected
(MENAFN- The Peninsula) The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea by the Kerala government for review of its verdict that struck down the 2006 Kerala Act that sought to restrict the water level in Mullaperiyar dam at 136 feet.
The bench of Chief Justice H L Dattu, Justice J Chelameswar, Justice Madan B Lokur, Justice M Y Eqbal and Justice C Nagappan dismissed the plea after considering it in their chamber.
"The application for an open court hearing is rejected. We have gone through the review petition and the connected papers. We see no reason to interfere in the impugned order. Review petition is dismissed," the court's order said on Tuesday.
Kerala had sought review of the May 7 Supreme Court verdict by which the apex court allowed Tamil Nadu's plea to raise the water level from 136 feet to 142 feet.
