New Delhi: The Centre has asserted in the Supreme Court that notifying the constitution of Cauvery Management Board during the time when Assembly elections in Karnataka has been announced by the Election Commission would lead to massive public outrage, create serious law and order problem and may vitiate the election process.

In its application for modification of the February 16 judgment granting six weeks for framing a ‘scheme’, the Centre therefore sought three-month for implementation of the judgment.

It said Cauvery is a very emotive issue in Karnataka and in the past the issue has led to serious law and order situations leading to avoidable loss of human lives and property.
