The Supreme Court on Thursday will hear Tamil Nadu’s interim plea to restrain the Centre from reallocating the entire power surrendered by the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi — 230 MW round-the-clock and 1491 MW between midnight and 6 a.m. — to any other State.

On Wednesday, a three-judge Bench of Chief Justice Altamas Kabir and Justices S.S. Nijjar and J. Chelameswar, after brief submissions from senior counsel Ranjit Kumar and Additional Advocate General Subramonium Prasad appearing for Tamil Nadu, asked counsel to serve a copy of the application on Attorney General G.E. Vahanvati so that it could take up the matter for hearing on Thursday.
