The disagreement/"battle" was between the Navajo nation and the Federal Government.

The Navajo Nation had argued that the federal government is legally obligated to address the tribe’s water needs from the drought-stricken Colorado River

The Supreme Court was the body that was was making a judgement about which of the two sides was right.

So, "Biden administration" in this context refers to the Federal Government, not to the Supreme Court.
