SUDHADEVI FOR R2 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss ANTONY DOMINIC, J. --------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 33549 of 2008 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 9th day of January, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner was the 6th claimant before the Commissioner for Workmen's Compensation, Kozhikode in W.C. No. 184/1998. The Commissioner passed Exhibit P1 order granting compensation to the claimant. The amount awarded was not paid by the first respondent. Therefore, petitioner made Exhibits P2 and P3 to the second respondent requesting him to initiate recovery proceedings to realise the amount from out of the property owned by the first respondent. But there has been no progress in this matter. Therefore, this writ petition is filed complaining of the inaction on the part of the 2rd respondent on Exhibits P2 and P3. 2. I heard counsel for the first respondent. 3. Having regard to the fact that Exhibit P1 has become final, the petitioner and other claimants are entitled to have the compensation recovered. It is for that purpose, he filed Exhibits P2 and P3. On receipt of Exhibits P2 and P3, the second respondent ought W.P.(C) No. 33549/ 2008 2 have taken necessary action for realising the compensation awarded. This has not been done. Therefore, I direct the second respondent to take appropriate action on Exhibits P2 and P3 as expeditiously as possible. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the second respondent, who shall take necessary steps in the matter. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE scm
