Gandhi Sahitya Sangh vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors.

The petitioner, a society, challenged the constitutional validity of the Inter-State Water Disputes Act, 1956, and the establishment of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal. The Supreme Court held that under Article 131 of the Constitution, disputes between States must be brought by the States themselves. Consequently, the Court ruled that a private individual or society lacks the locus standi to challenge such proceedings, leading to the dismissal of the petition.
