Centre promised to notify CWDT decision by December-end

The Supreme Court on Friday pulled up the Centre for dilly-dallying on notifying the final decision of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal (CWDT) dated February 5, 2007, even though it informed the court on December 5, 2012 that it would notify the decision by the end of December. When Additional Solicitor General Harin P. Raval sought four weeks time for the Centre to take a decision whether to notify the ‘final decision’ or not, a Bench of Justices D.K. Jain and Madan B. Lokur told him: “It is strange. We are to be told you will take a decision in four weeks.”
