PRABHAKARAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. --------------------- W.P.(C).No.8207 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 20th day of March, 2009. JUDGMENT Petitioner was the claimant in OP(MV).No.1573/91, in which by Ext.P1 award compensation was ordered to be granted. Though the award became final the amount was not paid and therefore execution petition was filed as EP.No.50/2006. Petitioner submits that, by Ext.P4 order dated 21.7.2006, revenue recovery proceedings were ordered. Despite lapse of more than about 3 years no amount has been realised. It is in these circumstances the writ petition has been filed. 2. I heard the standing counsel appearing for the first respondent. 3. The respondents have no case that the award has not become final. If that be so, there is absolutely no justification for not paying the amount that is due. WP(c).nO.8207/09 /2/ Accordingly, I direct the first respondent to deposit the compensation as ordered by the Tribunal in Ext.P1, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 3 months from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WP(c).nO.8207/09 /2/
