W.P.(C).30432/2011 .............................................. Dated this the 21st day of December, 2011 JUDGMENT Petitioner claims to the owner of a vehicle bearing No.KL 7D 9798. Pursuant to the proceedings initiated against the vehicle under the Kerala Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Act, 2001, (in short 'the Act') the second respondent issued Ext.P3 order holding that the vehicle is liable for confiscation. Aggrieved by this order, Ext.P4 Revision, under Section 23B of the Act, was filed before the first respondent. It is thereafter, this writ petition is filed mainly complaining of the delay in the disposal of the Revision. 2. Ext.P4 Revision being a statutory one is liable to be entertained and considered. Therefore, I direct the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 with notice to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
