Raises constitutional questions about legislative transparency and the integrity of official records in Indian state assemblies.
AIADMK whip Agri S.S. Krishnamurthy has filed a writ petition before the Madras High Court, challenging an amendment made to a resolution passed by the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly on June 19 against the proposed construction of Mekedatu Dam by the State of Karnataka.
The petitioner has objected to the inclusion of a paragraph demanding the constitution of a tribunal under the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, 1956, to resolve the dispute between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka over the proposed dam. The writ petition has been listed for hearing before the first Division Bench of Chief Justice Sushruth Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G. Arul Murugan on Thursday.
