DEEPA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 17255 OF 2008 (D) = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 26th June 2008 J U D G M E N T Non-remittance of compensation ordered by the M.A.C.T., Ernakulam in O.P. (M.V) No. 3609/95 is complained of by the petitioner. Ext. P1 is the award. It is seen that by this award, an amount of Rs.70,500/- with 12% interest from 27.11.1995 was awarded to the petitioner following an accident that took place in 1994. Although the award rendered on 15.2.1999 has become final and binding on the parties, it is unfortunate that the compensation awarded is not paid even as of now. This is despite the fact that revenue recovery proceedings have already been initiated in the meanwhile. 2. Taking note of the above, this writ petition is disposed of directing that the compensation ordered by the Tribunal in Ext. P1 award will be deposited by the additional 2nd respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 8 weeks of production W.P.(C) No. 17255 OF 2008 -2- of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the additional 2nd respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
