K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO.37107 OF 2009 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 3rd DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the claimant in O.P(MV)No.745 of 2003 on the file of MACT, Alappuzha. The petition was filed claiming compensation for the injury sustained by the petitioner in a motor accident. The Tribunal awarded an amount of Rs.19,000/- with interest thereon at the rate of 7.5% per annum, from the date of the petition till the date of realisation, as per Ext.P1 award. The complaint of the petitioner is that though he had filed an execution petition before the MACT, Alappuzha, the amount has not been deposited or paid to him. According to him, more than six and a half years have elapsed, since the amount was awarded. The petitioner submits that due to the inaction on the part of the respondent to deposit the amount awarded, serious loss and hardships have been caused to him. Therefore, he prays for a direction to the respondent to deposit the amount awarded without further delay. 2. Though notice was ordered in the above case, and though the Wpc 37107/09 2 respondent has received notice, there is no appearance for the respondent. 3. The petitioner is a person who got injured in a motor accident in the year, 2003. Though Ext.P1 award is dated 4.9.2003, the amount awarded has not been deposited before the MACT, in spite of the fact that Ext.P1 contains a specific direction to deposit the said amount. Ext.P2 is the execution petition that is alleged to be pending for execution of the award of the Tribunal. 4. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to disburse to the petitioner, the amount awarded as per the award in O.P(MV)No.745 of 2003 as expeditiously as possible, and at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
