Award has now become final. It requires the 3rd respondent to deposit the amount and that has not been remitted till date. Hence this writ petition. 3. Learned Standing Counsel for the 3rd respondent on instruction submits that financial stringency is the reason for delay. Now that the award has become final the amount has to be paid. 4. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing that within three months, 3rd respondent shall pay the amount due in terms of Award as confirmed by this Court and discharge its liability with interest. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) ma K.THANKAPPAN,J CRL.A. NO.92 OF 1999 ORDER 25th May, 2007
