ANNEXURE R1B: .DO. DT.22.11.2001 .DO. TRUE COPY PA TO JUDGE C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR & V.K.MOHANAN, JJ. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.7773 of 2005 .................................................................... Dated this the 28th day of May, 2008. JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. The W.P. is filed for direction to the Devaswom Board to evict the second respondent from the property of the Devaswom said to be encroached and occupied by second respondent. However, it is seen from Ext.R2(d) judgment of this court in A.S. No.298/2002 that this court has held that the second respondent is entitled to hold 41 cents of land. In view of Ext.R2(d) judgment of this court in A.S. No.298/2002 declaring title of the second respondent in respect of 41 cents of land, the W.P. is not maintainable at all. In fact this court vide interim order dated 5.8.2005 in this W.P.(C) directed handing over of possession of the property to the second respondent. Counsel for second respondent submitted that the property is handed over to him pursuant to interim order. In the circumstances, this W.P. is not maintainable and we dismiss the same. However, since counsel for the petitioner submitted that petition under Article 32 is filed before the Supreme Court in the same matter, the 2 judgment in this W.P. will be subject to result of judgment of the Supreme Court, if it is in the same matter.
