The grievance of the petitioner is that although the award has become final and binding on the parties, compensation has not been deposited by the respondent till date. 2. I heard the standing counsel for the the respondent also. 3. As the award has become final and binding on the parties, I see no justification in the inordinate delay in the payment of compensation to the injured. The financial constraints projected by the respondent cannot be a reason for so much delay. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing that compensation awarded by the MACT, Kollam in OP(MV) No.2316/1994 shall be deposited by the respondent herein, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within two months of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
