PROCEDURE

The case originated in an application (no. 31345/05) against the Republic of Turkey lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) by a Turkish national, Mr Dursun Demirtürk (“the applicant”), on 15 August 2005.

The applicant was represented by Ms Z. Bilgiç Dölek, a lawyer practising in Mersin. The Turkish Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent.

On 1 October 2008 the President of the Second Section decided to give notice of the application to the Government. It was also decided to rule on the admissibility and merits of the application at the same time (Article 29 § 3).

THE FACTS

THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CASE

The applicant was born in 1933 and lives in Zonguldak.

On an unspecified date the Land Registry Commission attached to the General Directorate of Land Registration conducted a land registry survey of plots of land in Belen village in the Ereğli district of Zonguldak. Following this survey, plot nos. 2 and 3 were registered in the Land Registry in the names of A.G. and K.G. respectively.

On 22 February 1985 the applicant brought a case before the Karadeniz Ereğlisi Cadastral Court requesting that plot nos. 2 and 3 be registered in his name.

On 12 December 1986 the court joined the case in question to another claim, having regard to the fact that the parties and the subject matter of the cases were the same.

On 6 December 2000 the court granted the applicant's request in part. The parties appealed.

On 12 December 2002 the Court of Cassation remitted the case to the first-instance court on grounds of incorrect service.

On an unspecified date the first-instance court rectified the error in service and sent the case to the Court of Cassation for re-examination.

On 29 April 2004 the Court of Cassation quashed the judgment of 6 December 2000.

On 11 October 2006 the first instance court dismissed the case.

On 13 March 2008 the Court of Cassation quashed the judgment of 11 October 2006.

The case was remitted to the first-instance court for further examination.

According to the information in the case file, the case is still pending before the first-instance court.
