1.Surplus Ravi-Beas waters refers to available
Ravi-Beas waters excluding the pre-partition utilization of 3.13 MAF by
Rajasthan, the then Punjab and J&K. The surplus Ravi-Beas waters were first
allocated in a Conference of the Chief Ministers held in January 1955, then by
a Govt. of India Notification dated 24.3.1976 subsequent to the reorganization
of Punjab in Nov. 1966 and later, in an agreement dated 31.12.1981 among the
Chief Ministers of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan. As the issues got re-opened,
there were prolonged negotiations which culminated in signing of the Punjab
Memorandum of Settlement (Rajiv-Longowal Accord) on 24.7.1985 between the then Prime
Minister of India, Shri Rajiv Gandhi and the then President of Shiromani Akali
Dal, Sant Harchand Singh Longowal.
2. Para 9.0 of the Accord, on "sharing of river
waters" states as under:-
9.0 Sharing of River
Waters
9.1 The farmers of Punjab,
Haryana and Rajasthan will continue to get water not less than what they are
using from the Ravi Beas system as on 1.7.85. Waters used for consumptive
purposes will also remain unaffected. Quantum of usage shall be verified by the
Tribunal referred to in Para 9.2 below:
9.2 The claim of Punjab
and Haryana regarding the shares in their remaining waters will be referred for
adjudication to a Tribunal to be presided over by a Supreme Court Judge. The
decision of this Tribunal will be rendered within six months and would be
binding on both parties. All legal and constitutional steps required in this
respect shall be taken immediately.
9.3 The construction of
SYL Canal shall continue. The Canal shall be completed by August 15, 1986.
3. Pursuant to the Accord, the Inter State River
Water Disputes Act 1956 (ISRWD Act) was amended and a three-Member
Ravi & Beas Waters Tribunal (RBWT) was set up in April 1986, to verify and
adjudicate the matters specified in paragraphs 9.1 and 9.2 respectively, of the
Accord. The Tribunal gave its report on 30.1.1987, which was forwarded to the
States on 20.5.1987. References under Section 5(3) of the ISRWD Act, of
Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan and Central Govt. seeking some explanation/
guidance on the report were forwarded to the Tribunal on 19.8.1987 and are
since under their consideration.
4. Hearings of the Tribunal have come to
depend on the outcome of a Presidential Reference related to constitutionality
of the Punjab Termination of Agreements Act, 2004 pending before the Hon’ble Supreme
Court.
PUNJAB TERMINATION OF
AGREEMENTS ACT, 2004
