R1 BY STANDING COUNSEL SRI K.PRABHAKARAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C) 7904 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated: MARCH 7, 2008 JUDGMENT In this writ petition, the petitioner complains that the compensation ordered by the MACT, Kottayam in OP (MV) 905/1995 as per Ext.P1 award has not been deposited so far. 2. Even according to the respondents, the award has become final. Apart from the financial constraints, there is no other reason stated for the inordinate delay. Now that the award has become final and binding, I do not find any reason to justify the inordinate delay in depositing the compensation awarded by the Tribunal. Accordingly I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 1st respondent shall deposit the compensation awarded by the Tribunal in OP (MV) 905/1995 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months of production of a copy of this judgment.
