According to the petitioner, the bund obstructs the natural flow of water and will also result in obstruction to the boats which are participating in the Pamba Uthruttathi Jalamela. 2. In my view, these are matters for the official respondents to consider and not for the Court to deal with. According to the petitioner, Ext.P4 representation has already been made to the third respondent. 3. Therefore, I direct the third respondent to deal with Ext.P4 representation in accordance with law. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible and at any rate, within eight weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) aks/11/11 // True Copy // P.A. To Judge
