The court shall enter judgment as the right of the matter may demand and this judgment shall be appealable as in other civil cases. No petition under this section may be filed within 60 days after the annexation, or request the determination of questions arising under Sections 7-1-31 through 7-1-33 and Section 7-1-37.
