It is stated that although an appeal was filed that also met with dismissal as per Ext. P2. In this writ petition what is complained of is that even as of now compensation awarded by the Tribunal has not been paid. 2. I heard the Standing Counsel for the respondent who, except financial constraints, has no other reason to defend the delay. Now that Ext. P1 award has become final and binding between the parties there is absolutely no justification for non- payment of the compensation awarded. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the compensation awarded as per Ext. P1 shall be deposited by the respondent as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 8 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
