In Brief
This interlocutory order addressed applications by Tamil Nadu seeking to prevent Kerala from consuming water beyond its allocated share under a water dispute award and to stop related construction. Kerala's counsel assured the Court that the state would not exceed its allocation and that construction would serve only to utilize allocated water. The Court accepted this assurance, directed Kerala to confirm it in writing within a fortnight, and disposed of the applications. The underlying civil appeals were adjourned for final hearing, with interim orders continuing pending judgment.
