No.2363 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 6th day of February, 2009 J U D G M E N T Complaint in the writ petition is regarding non-payment of the amount due under Ext.P1 award rendered by the MACT, Kollam in OP(MV) No.761/92. The accident took place on 03/10/1991, and the learned standing counsel for the KSRTC has no case that the award has not become final. 2. In view of the long lapse of time since the accident had occurred, I see no reason to justify non-payment of compensation. In view of this, it is directed that the amount due under Ext.P1 shall be deposited by the respondents as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
