JOHN, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 17968 OF 2008 - L = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 24th day of June 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner was a claimant in O.P.(MV) No. 734/2000. The prayer sought for in this writ petition is to direct the respondent to pay the compensation awarded by the M.A.C.T., Thalassery in O.P. (MV) No. 734/2000. Ext. P1 is a copy of the order passed by the MACT. It is not the case either of the parties that there has been any subsequent proceedings against Ext. P1. If that be so, there is absolutely no justification for delaying payment particularly since the accident in question has occurred on 31.12.1999. In view of this, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the compensation ordered in Ext. P1 award shall be deposited by the respondent as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 3 months of production of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
