There was dispute regarding ownership of property as the appellant claimed that he is entitled to the same even though the land was in the name of the Devaswom, second respondent. The appellant approached the Land Tribunal for purchase of the land claiming tenancy. That was rejected and appeal was pending. Reference court also found that compensation can be given only to Devaswom. Appellant is unable to inform us whether the appeal was disposed of or not. This appeal is pending from 2003 onwards. In the above circumstances, this appeal is dismissed without prejudice to the rights of the appellant to file a petition to re-open the matter, if he gets a favourable order from the appellate authority.
