(C) No. 21183 of 2010 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated, this the 8th day of July, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioners, while traveling in the bus belonging to the respondent Corporation, sustained some injuries in a road traffic accident, which led to separate claims by way of O.P.(M.V) Nos. 885/2000 and 891/2000. On conclusion of the trial, Ext.P1 'common award' was passed, directing the respondents to pay the compensation to the petitioners with interest as specified therein. The Award is sought to be executed by filing Exts. P12 and P13 execution petitions, which are still pending consideration before the Tribunal. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, in spite of the fact that the Award was passed by the Tribunal as early as on 14.03.2006 and it has become final, the same is still to be satisfied by the respondents, which made the petitioners to approach this Court for appropriate relief. 3. The learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent Corporation submits that, the delay is never wilful, but because of some frustrating pecuniary circumstance, including the liability to be discharged in a 'time bound manner' giving effect to various judgments and orders passed by different Courts/Tribunals at different point of W.P. (C) No. 21183 of 2010 : 2 : time. The learned counsel further submits that, the entire amount due to the petitioners will be cleared within a span of 3 months. The submission as above is recorded. 4. In view of the above submission, nothing further remains to be adjudicated. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents to effect the payment within 3 months as above. P.
