## A N S W E R

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR POWER AND NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY

( SHRI  R. K. SINGH )

(a) & (b) : An agreement was reached between the States of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Government of India on 10.05.1984 wherein it was agreed that in view of the claims  raised  by  Haryana  and  Rajasthan  for  sharing  of  power  in  Anandpur  Sahib  Hydel Project, Mukerian Hydel Project, Thein Dam Project, Upper Bari Doab Canal (UBDC) Stage-II and  Shahpur  Kandi  Hydel  Scheme,  the  Government  of  India  shall  refer  the  matter  to  the Hon'ble Supreme Court for its opinion. The opinion of the Hon'ble Supreme Court was to be sought on whether the States of Rajasthan and Haryana are entitled to a share in the power generated from these Hydel schemes and in case they are, what would be the share of each State.

However, subsequently in the discussion held between the Chief Ministers of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan on 29-30 July, 1992 and 6th August, 1992, a consensus was reached not to refer the matter to the Hon'ble Supreme court. It was also decided that these States  would  come  to  a  reasonable  agreement  through  mutual  consultations.  In  order  to resolve the issue amicably, a number of formal discussions have taken place. However, no consensus has emerged so far on the divergent views of the stakeholder States. Presently, the matter is sub-judice in the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in original Suit No. 3 of 2009.
