Proceedings were initiated under the provisions of Kerala Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Act, 2001 and final orders were passed by the first respondent. Against the said orders petitioners have filed Ext.P4 and P5 revisions under Rule 28A of the Kerala Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Rules 2002. These revisions are pending and while so, this writ petition is filed. In view of the fact that the petitioners have already invoked the statutory remedy by way of revisions and since those revisions are pending there will be a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P4 and W.P.(C) No. 18065 OF 2011 :2 : P5 as expeditiously as possible at any rate within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE ul/- [true copy] P.S. to Judge
