New Delhi: Tamil Nadu on October 8 filed a second contempt petition against
Karnataka in the Supreme Court alleging violation of the Court's orders last week
directing release of 9,000 CUSECS of Cauvery water to it.
The contemnors cited in the petition are Karnataka Chief Minister S M Krishna, Water
Resources Minister H K Patil and the state Chief Secretary A Ravindra.
Alleging that the three had violated the Court's directions, Tamil Nadu's petition
demanded consequential damages arising out of damage to crops in the state due to
Karnataka's decision not to release water.
