The SC assured the AAP government that it can always order release of R3,000 crore funds meant for the Delhi Jal Board even after they lapse on March 31. The AAP government had moved the court seeking release of funds.

A bench headed by CJI D Y Chandrachud took note of the submissions of senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for the AAP government, that the plea needed an urgent hearing as the funds meant for the Delhi Jal Board will lapse on March 31. The bench, also comprising justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, said it will hear the plea on April 1.
