P1 order of assessment. However, revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated by Ext. P2 and thereupon the petitioner raised his objections before the District Collector by filing Ext. P3 objection. It is at that stage this writ petition has been filed. 2. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner has raised his objections to the continuance of the revenue recovery proceedings agianst him by filing Ext. P3 before the District Collector, Kollam, I feel, the appropriate course to be adopted is to direct the District Collector, Kollam to consider Ext. P3 objection and take a decision thereon. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the District Collector, Kollam before whom Ext. P3 has been filed, shall decide on the objection filed by the petitioner with notice to him. This, the District Collector, Kollam, shall do as expeditiously W.P.(C) No.8157 OF 2008 -2- as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. In the meantime, further proceedings pursuant to Ext. P1 shall not be continued as against the petitioner. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the District Collector, Kollam, in order to enable him to comply with the direction as above.
