Are there any plans to formalize the release of an ethereal library? It seems thus the power of ethereal's dissector integration, display filter definition and XMLised output can be used to provide more value add rather than just displaying them on a GUI.

Any input in this regard is much appreciated.
Thank you and best regards,
Jeetendra

Can anybody provide a pointer to such a project, if it exists?

There's no such thing as a separate libethereal project.

Libethereal is generated as an intermediate step while generating
Ethereal/tethereal, mainly to save disc/web space.

Please note, this isn't currently meant as a "classical" library, the
API isn't well documented, and will frequently change deeply without
further notice.
