Petitioner, referring to Ext. P2 submits that in the joint memorandum filed on 9.11.2006, it was agreed by the respondents to remit the amount within 60 days and that also has not been complied with. 2. In view of the fact that the award is of 2000 and the commitment that the respondents have given in Ext. P2, I see absolutely no justification for the nonpayment of the compensation awarded by the Tribunal. For these reasons, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 1st respondent shall remit the amount due in terms of Ext. P2 joint memorandum as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within two months of production of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
