MWDT chairman JM Panchal served notice to
Karnataka and Maharashtra directing them to file their reply within six weeks. Goa has been granted liberty to file a rejoinder within four weeks from the date of reply submitted by the two States.
Advocate Nishanath Patil waived notice on behalf of Karnataka and for Maharashtra it was by DM Nargolkar.
In August, Goa had moved the tribunal with a disobedience application against Karnataka under order 39 rule 2A of Civil Procedure Code (CrPC). The application sought for purging and enforcement of the Order of injunction dated April 17, 2014 and order of injunction contained in the award passed by the Tribunal itself.
