Consequently, the rain water gets collected in his compound. It is stated that though the Municipality has promised to construct a drainage to avoid this, there has not been any action on its part. Complaining of this, the petitioner's son has filed Ext. P1 before the 2nd respondent and in this writ petition it is alleged that there has not been any response to Ext. P1 either. 2. I heard the Standing Counsel for the Municipality also. 3. Having regard to the submissions made before me as above, I feel that it is a matter which should, at least at the first instance, engage the attention of the respondents. Since Ext. P1 is pending before the 2nd respondent, I direct the 2nd respondent to take note of Ext. P1, consider the same and pass appropriate orders W.P.(C) No. 18584 OF 2008 -2- thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 2 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. 4. Writ petition is disposed of as above. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 2nd respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
