Special leave petitions have been filed in the apex court by the three-riparian States- Goa, Karnataka and Maharashtra, along with the contempt pleas filed by the coastal State.
According to sources, Court has listed the matter on January 23 in Court No 1 for hearing.
The matter had come up before the Supreme Court in November, last month, after almost nine months. However, it was posted for January without hearing.
All the three States have filed additional written submissions before the Court, as directed during the previous hearing held in February last year. Earlier, the matter was heard in July, 2023.
The Court had also asked the three neighbouring States to nominate a nodal counsel for the bookmarking of the convenience compilations and that during the course of arguments.
The three States – Goa, Karnataka and Maharashtra- have filed Special Leave Petitions in the court challenging the Mhadei Distribute Tribunal Award made in August 2018.
