Judgment text excerpt
The State of Haryana filed a suit under Article 131 of the Constitution of India against the State of Punjab and the Union of India. The petitioner seeks a decree declaring that previous agreements and settlements regarding the Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) Canal Project are binding on Punjab. The suit further requests a mandatory injunction compelling the completion of the canal project to ensure Haryana receives its allocated share of the Ravi and Beas waters.
