Hyderabad April 18 The Andhra Pradesh Government is gearing to present its arguments on the Babli dam issue before the Supreme Court when the matter comes up for hearing on April 25. The issue was discussed at a high-level review meeting with senior officials, engineers and legal experts. The Government will effectively present its case before the apex court, Mr P.

`ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION'
The recent developments, including the Maharashtra police action at Babli on protestors from Andhra Pradesh, the copies of letters written by Chief Minister Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, to the Prime Minister, Union Home Minister and Union Ministry of Water Resources, and the State Cabinet's resolutions condemning Maharashtra's "illegal construction" would also be submitted to the Supreme Court, Mr Lakshmaiah said. In addition, photographs of "illegal construction" at Babli would be submitted to the court along with other evidence, he added.
