P2 is an order passed by the 1st respondent permitting de-watering through the petitioner's property. Against that order the petitioner filed an appeal to the District Collector and that was rejected by Ext. P4. Still aggrieved, invoking the power of the 3rd respondent under Section 8 of the Kerala Irrigation Works (Execution by Joint Labour) Act, petitioner has filed Ext. P5 revision which is pending consideration of the 3rd respondent. 2. The only relief that is sought by the petitioner is to direct the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P5 revision filed by the petitioner. Taking into account the above submissions, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 3rd respondent shall take up and consider Ext. P5. Final orders on Ext. P5 shall be passed with notice to the 4th respondent and other affected parties as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 8 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment.
