BY GP SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/05/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ....................... W.P.(C).14280/2009 ....................... Dated this the 25th day of May, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioners, residing on the bank of Manali river, are aggrieved by what they term as the steps taken by the fourth respondent, Contractor, for constructing a protection wall on the southern bank of the river, and taking steps in such a manner that the width of the river in the area narrows. According to the petitioners, this will, during monsoon, result in flooding and further cause damage to their properties. Essentially the Contractor is to do his work under the supervision of the Executive Engineer and if the petitioners have a grievance, that shall be looked into by the Engineer. Ext.P3 is pending in this regard before the third respondent. 2. Having heard learned Government Pleader also, writ petition is disposed of directing the third respondent to look into Ext.P3 and take such remedial action as is warranted vis-a-vis the Contractor as well.
