And the battle goes on

Today's direction of the Supreme Court to Karnataka to release 18 cusecs of water for 3 days despite Karnataka's pleading /prayer /argument of its inability to do so has put the state in quandary. Karnataka has again floundered in its line of defense /argument. It was under wishful thinking that the legislature route it has taken to avoid the release of water would save the day for it. Is Supreme Court that naive unable to decipher the designs of Karnataka? Karnataka should have harped on shortage of water, and the whole of Bangalore city is dependent on Cauvery for its drinking water requirement where as Tamilnadu is demanding water for its crop. Karnataka should have driven home the point that water for drinking takes precedence over water for raising crops which Tamilnadu is demanding. The contention of Fali Nariman was simply not heard by the judges. It finally directed Karnataka to release the water as per its earlier order. The situation is slowly snowballing into a bigger and larger issue - which is Supreme? whether Judiciary OR Legislature.
In all it is a disappointing day for Karnataka.
