The petitioner seeks a direction to the KSRTC to pay the amount. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the KSRTC seeks three months' time to pay the amount. Ext.P1 award was passed on 14.1.1999. More than eight-and-a-half years have already elapsed. As such, I feel that I cannot grant three more months' time to pay the amount. Accordingly, I direct the 1st respondent to pay to the petitioner the amount covered by Ext.P1 award within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge. 2
