Non payment of the compensation awarded in Ext.P1 award rendered by the MACT, Perumbavoor in OP(MV) No.975/98 is complained of in this writ petition. As is evident from Ext.P1, the award was passed as early as on 30th of March, 2004 and despite the award having become final, for no genuine reason, the payment is delayed. 3. Since the award has become final and binding, I do not find any justification in its non payment and therefore, I direct that the compensation awarded in the aforesaid OP(MV) shall be paid by the respondent as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 3 months of production of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
