JUDGMENT The husband of the petitioner sustained injuries in a motor accident involving a bus of the KSRTC. He filed O.P(MV)1752/2000 before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Thiruvananthapuram claiming compensation from the third respondent for the injuries sustained. While the proceedings were pending the petitioner's husband passed away. The Tribunal passed an award granting an amount of Rs.58,000/- with interest as compensation. The complaint of the petitioner is that the third respondent has not satisfied the award till date, though more than two years have elapsed. 2. Though the second respondent was requested to initiate Revenue Recovery proceedings against the third respondent for the recovery of the award amount, no action has been taken to recover the amount, it is alleged. Therefore, the petitioner seeks appropriate directions to recover the amounts due. 3. The standing counsel for the KSRTC submits that the award amount would be paid within a period of three months. WPC 5100/2010 2 4. In view of the above, this writ petition is disposed of directing the third respondent to pay the amount awarded by the MACT, Thiruvananthapuram in O.P(MV) 1752/2000 within a period of three months from today.
