NO. 32516 OF 2004 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of August, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioner has obtained Workmen's compensation award from the fourth respondent vide Ext.P1. According to the petitioner, even though award is against third respondent, third respondent has not chosen to deposit the amount. In the circumstances, obviously fourth respondent should have ordered revenue recovery against third respondent and fifth respondent should have recovered the arrears and deposited the amount with the fourth respondent. W.P. is therefore allowed directing the fourth respondent to immediately order revenue recovery for recovery of compensation amount awarded in favour of the petitioner without any delay. Petitioner will produce copy of this judgment before the fourth respondent for compliance. (C.N. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge kk 2
