From the submissions made by the counsel for the petitioner and also the standing counsel for the respondents, it is obvious that the award has become final and binding on the parties. In view of this, the respondent is bound to honour the terms of the award. The only justification of delay cannot hold good at this distance of time. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the respondent shall deposit the amount awarded in Ext.P1, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within three months of production of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
