The court made clear that this order will not come in the way of the authorities for removing any encroachment in the Cauvery river kharab area.

Justice MI Arun passed the order after recording the submission of the government advocate that people who have illegally occupied the kharab land are sought to be vacated through the impugned notices, and no action will be initiated against the lands which belong to private persons.
