Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today held discussions with senior counsel FS Nariman about the ongoing legal battle with neighbouring Tamil Nadu in the Supreme Court over the release of Cauvery water, which is expected to come up for hearing on Monday.
Chief Minister met Mr Nariman in Delhi and discussed about the opinion that the court had expressed yesterday, officials in the Chief Minister's office said.
After the meeting Chief Minister said Karnataka's lawyers will present its case on Monday.
The Supreme Court had yesterday advised Tamil Nadu and Karnataka to "live and let live", as they locked horns and traded charges in the courtroom over the release of Cauvery water.
The court was hearing Tamil Nadu's plea, seeking a direction to Karnataka to release 50.52 tmc feet of Cauvery water to save 40,000 acres of 'samba' crops this season.
Reacting to the developments in the top court in connection with the case, Mr Patil had yesterday said the state's legal team would present the ground realities, and inform the court about Karnataka's drinking water needs, deficit rain and storage levels in four reservoirs in the Cauvery basin area.
Karnataka had earlier made it clear that it was not possible for it to spare Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu given the "severe distress" it was facing; an all-party meeting had decided that the same stand should be placed before the Supreme Court.
