(MANAGED BY SHRI RAMKRISHNA SEVA MANDAL)

SECOND NATIONAL MOOT COURT COMPETITION,

2015

MOOT PROBLEM

1) Union of Indus Land is a Federal Democratic Republic Country. It is divided into 29 states.

The state of Purvanchal was one of the largest state 10 years ago. There was one Purvanchal

Dam constructed to construct a canal for production of electricity and also for supply of

water for irrigation of the agricultural land of the state. The canal was so built that it was

covering entire state.

2) The canal was passing from northern part of the state to southern part of the state.

Purvanchal dam/Purvanchal Power Station was constructed in such a way that water level

was increased to such level that flow of water could be maintained with same pressure even

till last part of the canal. Entire state’s electricity requirement was fulfilled from the same

Purvanchal Hydral Power Station. On the other hand the canal was fulfilling the irrigational

requirement of entire state from northern side to southern side of the state.

3) However state of Purvanchal was reorganized into two different states, one was named as

Southern Purvanchal and the other state was named as Northern Purvanchal under the State

Re-organization Act 1956. The State was divided in such a way that both states had got

almost same territorial area and the population of both newly formed states was almost same.

4) After partition of the state Purvanchal, the control of release of water from dam and release

of electricity from the Purvanchal Hydral Power Station came under complete control of


Northern Purvanchal state therefore what quantity of wate r and electricity could be allowed

to be parted by Northern Purvanchal State for utilization of Southern Purvanchal state, also

was within the control of Northern Purvanchal state. From the dam 20500 cusecs of water

used to be released per day in canal so that 1000 cusecs of water per day used to reach to

Southern Purvanchal State. The Purvanchal Hydral Power Station used to produce 2000 MW

of electricity and 1000 MW of electricity used to be supplied from the Purvanchal Hydral

Power Station to Southern Purvanchal State. At the time of partition of state one agreement

was executed by newly formed states that the cost of production of electricity at Purvanchal

Hydral Power Station and cost for maintaining the canal would be shared by both states

equally.

5) According to agreement Southern Purvanchal was sharing the electricity production cost and

also cost of maintenance of canal equally. Initially Northern Purvanchal State used to share

the electricity 1000 MW of Electricity and used to release water almost 10000 cusecs of

water per day to state of Southern Purvanchal State. Thus Southern Purvanchal State was

getting sufficient electricity for use for whole state and sufficient water in the canal for their

irrigational requirements. After 5 years there were assembly elections in both the states. In

both the state new political parties had come into power. After the election when Northern

Purvanchal State started sharing only 500MW of the electricity to Southern Purvanchal State

whereas production at Purvanchal Hydral Power Station was same that of 2000 MW of

electricity. Similarly the quantity of water supply in canal was reduced. Instead of supply of

10000 cusecs of water per day the supply of water in canal was reduced to 6000 cusecs of

water per day. Whereas there was no shortage of water level in dam. This resulted into

serious irrigational problem for the farmers of Southern Purvanchal State, whose fields

otherwise was totally dependent for irrigation from supply of the 10000 cusecs of water per

day in the canal.

6) The farmers of Southern Purvanchal State were protesting and were asking the state

government of Suouthern Purvanchal State to intervene in the matter to ensure that

electricity and water problem may not continue and politically both the States could settle

the dispute amicably. However the state government of Southern Purvanchal State could not

resolve the issue inspite of the fact that they had approached the government of Northern


Purvanchal State several times for restoring the earlier shar ing of water and electricity.

Nevertheless the government of Southern Purvanchal State was not taking appropriate legal

step to ensure restoring supply of 1000 MW electricity to Southern Purvanchal State as well

as for release of 10000 cusecs of water per day in the cannel for use of Southern Purvanchal

State for irrigational purpose.

7) The government of Southern Purvanchal State approached to the central government,

however both in the Central government as well as in the state government of Northern

Purvanchal State the governments were run by same political party, therefore the Central

government had not shown much interest in intervening in the matter whereas the farmers of

the Southern Purvanchal State were great sufferers because of the crops were destroyed due

to insufficient water supply in the canal and due to cut in eclectic supply the farmers could

not resort to alternative method of irrigation.

8) One of the farmers of Northern Purvanchal State filed one Public Interest litigation before

Federal Court praying to give direction to both Central Government of Union of Indus Land

and Government of Northern Purvanchal State for restoring the supply 1000MW of

electricity from Purvanchal Power Station and restore the 10000 cusecs of water in the canal

running in Southern Purvanchal State.

Note:- Union of Indus Land has Federal Court similar to that of Supreme Court of India. Similarly

the Constitution of the Union of Indus Land is similar to that of the Constitution of India. Various

Acts which are in force in Union of Indus Land are same Union of India are identical. Thus there are

similarities in the laws, judicial system and Centre State relations.

The issues should be four or less than it.
