J U D G M E N T The petitioner has filed W.C.C.No.60/97 before the Commissioner for Workmen's Compensation, Kottayam, for compensation for injuries suffered by him in an accident occurred on 30.10.1995, in the course of employment with the respondents 1 and 2. The Workmen's Compensation Commissioner awarded an amount of Rs.1,99,661/-. The petitioner filed M.F.A.No.1546/2001, against that award, in which this Court enhanced the compensation amount by Ext.P1 judgment. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents 1 and 2 are not paying the additional compensation as awarded in Ext.P1 judgment of this Court. Petitioner therefore seeks the following relief: i) Issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ, direction or order directing the 1st respondent to deposit the enhanced compensation amount along with 12% interest as ordered in Ext.P1 judgment of this Hon'ble Court before the 3rd respondent expeditiously and within a short time limit to be fixed by this Hon'ble court. W.P.(C).No. 16794 OF 2008 2 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel for the KSEB also. There is no dispute that Ext.P1 judgment of this Court has become final. Therefore the respondents 1 and 2 are bound to pay the additional compensation awarded by Ext.P1 judgment. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents 1 and 2 to deposit additional compensation with interest as directed in Ext.P1 judgment, before the 3rd respondent, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
