By the present petition the petitioner contends that the ownership certificate was cancelled by the respondents even without considering his representation, pursuant to the direction issued by this Court. Even if we were to consider that aspect of the matter we find that the petition was filed in the year 2001. The animals which were the subject matter of the said certificate have already been transferred to the rehabilitation centre at Tirupati and presently are at that place. 2. The issue as to whether the ownership certificate to be cancelled is now pending before the Apex Court. Considering the above, to our mind no purpose would be served in invoking the extra ordinary jurisdiction of this Court. However, liberty is granted to the petitioner in the event the Apex Court sets aside the order of this Court to apply to the Respondents for release of the animals and/or for reissuance of the ownership certificate and for any other relief that he may be entitled to in terms of the judgment of the Apex Court. 3. With the above direction, writ petition stands disposed of. No order as to costs. (F.I. (F.I. (F.I. REBELLO, J.) REBELLO, J.) REBELLO, J.) (S.P. (S.P. (S.P. KUKDAY, J.) KUKDAY, J.) KUKDAY, J.)
