SRI.K.PRABHAKARAN, SC, KSRTC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 5018 OF 2009 (V) ==================== Dated this the 3rd day of March, 2009 J U D G M E N T Based on Ext.P1 award passed by the MACT, Pala in OP(MV) No.151/01, Ext.P2 order was passed by the Tribunal for the recovery of the amount. Despite this, no recovery has been effected and it is with that complaint the writ petition is filed. 2. When the matter came up for orders before this Court on 16/2/2009, the case was adjourned with a direction to the standing counsel to obtain instructions. 3. Today, counsel for the 3rd respondent confirms the finality of Ext.P1 and only financial constraints is the justification that is forthcoming. 4. Now that Ext.P1 has attained finality, I see no justification for the non payment of the amount due. 5. Accordingly, I direct the 3rd respondent to make payment of the amount awarded in Ext.P1 award referred to above. This shall be done, 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
