Correct Answer - Option 1 : March 2018

The correct answer is March 2018.

  • INTER-STATE WATER DISPUTES :
    • Article 262 of the Constitution provides for the adjudication of interstate water disputes.
      • It makes two provisions:
        • Parliament may by law provide for the adjudication of any dispute or complaint with respect to the use, distribution and control of waters of any inter-state river and river valley.
        • Parliament may also provide that neither the Supreme Court nor any other court is to exercise jurisdiction in respect of any such dispute or complaint.
      • Under this provision, the Parliament has enacted two laws [the River Boards Act (1956) and the Inter-State Water Disputes Act (1956)].
      • The River Boards Act provides for the establishment of river boards for the regulation and development of inter-state river and river valleys.
      • A river board is established by the Central government on the request of the state governments concerned to advise them.
      • The Inter-State Water Disputes Act empowers the Central government to set up an ad hoc tribunal for the adjudication of a dispute between two or more states in relation to the waters of an inter-state river or river valley.
      • The decision of the tribunal would be final and binding on the parties to the dispute.
      • Neither the Supreme Court nor any other court is to have jurisdiction in respect of any water dispute which may be referred to such a tribunal under this Act.
      • The need for an extra judicial machinery to settle inter-state water disputes is as follows:
        • “The Supreme Court would indeed have jurisdiction to decide any dispute between states in connection with water supplies, if legal rights or interests are concerned; but the experience of most countries has shown that rules of law based upon the analogy of private proprietary interests in water do not afford a satisfactory basis for settling disputes between the states where the interests of the public at large in the proper use of water supplies are involved.”
