Supreme Court Declines Telangana's Suit Against Andhra Pradesh Water Project
The Supreme Court on July 13, 2026, rejected the Telangana government's suit under Article 131, which sought to stop Andhra Pradesh from advancing the Polavaram–Banakacherla/Nallamalasagar Link Project. The court cited procedural deficiencies in the filing. Telangana argues that the project would infringe on its share of Godavari River waters, contradicting the Godavari Water Disputes Tribunal's award. This is not the first challenge by Telangana; a previous writ petition was withdrawn in January after the court indicated it was not maintainable. The court stated that the matter would be reconsidered once procedural requirements are met.
