By this award, Tribunal disposed of O.P.(MV). 317/1995, 206/1995 and 111/1995 and compensation has been awarded on 24.1.2001. The complaint of the writ petitioners is that till date, despite that the award amount is too meagre, payment has not been made by the first respondent. 2. There is no dispute that the award has not become final and binding on the parties. If that be so, I see no justification for the delay that has been occurred. 3. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the compensation awarded by the M.A.C.T, Kollam, in O.P.(MV). Nos. 206/1995, 317/1995 and 111/1995 shall be deposited by the first respondent as expeditiously as possible at any rate within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
