Since the award is of 2000 and it has become final, there is no justification for further delay in paying the amount. 2. Hence, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 1st respondent shall deposit the award amount as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within three months from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment.
