Supreme Court urges Centre-state cooperation on Karnataka drought funds release.

The Supreme Court urged cooperation between the Centre and state governments, rather than contestation, as it heard the Karnataka government's plea for drought funds release. The court expressed concern over state governments approaching the court against the Centre. The bench, comprising Justices BR Gavai, Sandeep Mehta, AG R Venkataramani, and SG Tushar Mehta, asked for a response from the Union government in two weeks.
