Kachchh Jal Sankat Nivaran Samiti & Ors vs State Of Gujarat & Anr

The Gujarat High Court dismissed a Public Interest Litigation concerning the allocation of water from the Sardar Sarovar Dam to the drought-prone district of Kuchchh, holding that such allocation decisions are best left to the executive, as there are no judicially manageable standards for adjudication. The Court emphasized the need for judicial restraint in matters involving complex social and economic considerations, referencing Divisional Manager, Aravali Golf Club & Anr. Vs. Chander Hass & Anr. (2008) 1 SCC 683. Consequently, the interlocutory application for interim directions was also dismissed.
