The appeal is filed against the judgment and decree in O.S. No.23/1987 on the file of the Sub Court, Palakkad. When the appeal came up for hearing, it is brought to the notice of this court that the property has already been delivered on 17.10.2000 and practically nothing survives in this appeal except with regard to the claim for mesne profits. We make it clear that in case the value of improvements as ordered in the judgment has already been deposited, the same shall be adjusted against the mesne profits as per the decree. Subject to the above clarification, this appeal is dismissed. (Kurian Joseph, Judge.) (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/ -2- Kurian Joseph & T.R.
