ORDER

The Text below is only a summarized version of the order pronounced

In this case, the chairman of the Tamil Nadu Cauvery Riots Relief Authority has asked a
clarification that whether the authority can decide the claim in case the riot took place in Karanataka
but the victim has now settled down in Tamil Nadu. The court directed that as per the order
constituting these authorities, the authority is required to deal with only those cases that occur in
their state irrespective of the fact where the victim resides.
