P1 is an award rendered by the M.A.C.T., Perumbavoor in O.P.(MV) No. 1644 OF 1995 in which compensation has been awarded to the claimants therein. It is submitted that despite the long lapse of time, the respondent has not so far deposited the compensation ordered in Ext. P1. In this background the writ petition has been filed for directing the respondent to make remittance of the compensation awarded. 2. It is beyond controversy that the award has become final and binding between the parties. If that be so, there is absolutely no justification for the inordinate delay that is caused in depositing the compensation ordered. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the amount of compensation ordered in Ext. P1 shall be deposited by the respondent as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of receipt of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
