Any owner of land lying in the territory sought to be annexed may file  objections to the petition at or prior to the time fixed for hearing and,  after filing such objections may be heard with reference thereto and  introduce evidence thereon. At the hearing, the court shall determine  whether the lands sought to be annexed are connected with a district drain  or have been or will be benefited or protected by any work of the district  done or ordered to be done and, if the petition was filed by the  landowners, whether the lands sought to be annexed are within the same  natural drainage basin or involved in the same system of drainage as lands  within the district and whether the petition is signed by the requisite  number of owners owning the required proportion of the area sought to be  annexed. If the court finds for the petitioners, it shall order the lands  annexed to the district. The order of annexation shall include a  description of the territory annexed and a description of the boundaries of  that territory. The order shall be final and separate or joint appeals may  be taken by the parties affected thereby, as in other civil cases.

In the  event the proceedings are so stayed and the order appealed from is  thereafter affirmed, or the appeal is dismissed, then, upon the receipt of  final process from the reviewing court the trial court shall vacate the  stay and the proceedings shall thereafter continue in the same manner as  though no appeal had been taken. In the event the proceedings are so stayed  and the order appealed from is reversed then, upon the receipt of final  process from the reviewing court the trial court may modify or vacate the  original order as to the lands not appealing as justice may  require under the circumstances.

 (from Ch. 42, par. 8-19)Sec. 8-19.         Detachment of lands in municipal corporation exercising drainage powers-  Hearing-Order.If upon hearing the petition, the court finds that it is not properly  signed, that the allegations of the petition are not true or that the  proposed detachment is not in the best interest of the district and of the  lands proposed to be detached, then the court shall deny the petition. If  the court finds for the petitioners and has not been requested in writing  to ascertain the proportionate share of the cost of reconstruction, repair  and maintenance work on the levee or outlet of the drainage district which  shall be borne by the municipal corporation in the future, then the court  shall order the lands detached from the district. If, however, the court  finds for the petitioners and has been requested in writing to ascertain  such proportionate share and appropriate pleadings have been filed, then  the court shall continue the hearing for the purpose of hearing additional  evidence and ascertaining such proportionate share.
