Mullaperiyar dam case

The apex court has directed that an immediate decision be taken on water levels in the dam, which is at the centre of a decades-old dispute between Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It has also observed that the court cannot be made a platform for political compulsions.

The Supreme Court has issued notice to the central government, state government of Kerala and Tamil Nadu on a plea seeking termination of Mullaperiyar's 1886 lease agreement.
