AP Petition on Krishna Waters

The Andhra Pradesh government has filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging a decision about sharing the waters of the Krishna River.

The case was initially heard by a bench led by Justice Surya Kant, but it was decided that a special bench would handle it in more detail.

The next hearing is scheduled for the first week of September.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court rejected Karnataka's request for interim orders, stating that such orders are not necessary.

Andhra Pradesh wants the court to intervene and issue orders without waiting for the Tribunal's verdict to be officially notified.
