MR.P.N.SANTHOSH, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.5216 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 17th day of February, 2009 J U D G M E N T The prayer made in this writ petition is for a direction to the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P3. 2. The complaint in Ext.P3 is against the alleged diversion of water from the Kallada Irrigation Project canal to paddy fields, where clay mining is going on without providing water for paddy cultivation. If the allegation is true, it is certainly a matter of serious concern, and therefore the 1st respondent has to consider this grievance of the petitioner. 3. Since the petitioner submits that he has filed Ext.P3 before the 1st respondent and orders have not been passed, I direct the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
