Chandigarh: The Haryana government has decided to move Supreme Court against Punjab Termination of Agreement Act 2004, which was cleared by the Punjab Assembly to halt Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal.
On July 12, 2004, Punjab Assembly passed the Termination of Agreements Act annulling all inter-state agreements signed by Punjab on sharing the waters of the Ravi and the Beas.
After coming to power in Hayrana, the BJP government had sought Centre's intervention to get the Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal completed.
"The state government had urged the Centre to intervene in this matter for early hearing of Presidential reference pending for a long time," Mr Khattar told reporters in Chandigarh.
"The government is committed for construction of SYL and to have its due share of water from Ravi-Beas," he said.
Mr Khattar said that he has vigorously put forth the demand for a separate High Court and it was for the Central Government and Union Law Ministry to take a final call on it.
Mr Khattar also said that snatching will fetch a maximum punishment of 10 years. Haryana DGP, YP Singal said that by adding clauses 379 A and 379 B to the existing law, it has been made stricter.
According to 379 A (snatching), the convict will be punished with rigorous imprisonment for a term not less than five years but it may extend to 10 years and shall also be liable to fine of Rs 25,000.
