BY STANDING COUNSEL SRI JOHNSON P. JOHN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C) 3455 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated: February 6, 2008 JUDGMENT The complaint of the petitioner is regarding the non-payment of the amount awarded by the MACT, Punalur in O.P.(MV) 1090/1994. It is stated by the petitioner that for realising the amount he had filed E.P.No.32/2006 and that though attachment was ordered, that was also got lifted by the respondents on undertaking to pay the amounts due. It is stated that even thereafter the award remains unsatisfied and it is in this background the writ petition has been filed. 2. The respondent has no dispute that the award has not become final. That apart, it is also seen that they had already given an undertaking to the MACT to satisfy the award. In these circumstances there is absolutely no justification for the failure of the respondent to deposit the amount awarded by the MACT. 3. In these circumstances I dispose of the writ petition directing that the compensation awarded by the MACT, Punalur in WP(C) 3455/08 Page numbers O.P.(MV) 1090/1994 shall be deposited by the 1st respondent as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment.
