P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ---------------------------- W.P.(C)No.1707 of 2010 ---------------------------- Dated 19th January, 2010 JUDGMENT In O.P.(M.V)No.1503 of 1993 filed by the petitioner, the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Kollam passed Ext.P1 award directing the Managing Director of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation to pay the sum of Rs.42,660/= together with interest thereon as compensation to the petitioner, within one month from 6.3.1998. The grievance voiced by the petitioner is that though nearly 12 years have passed after Ext.P1 award was passed and it has become final, the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation has not deposited the award amount. In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks reliefs in that regard. Sri.V.V.Nandagopal Nambiar, the learned standing counsel appearing for the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation submits that Ext.P1 award has become final and therefore the Corporation will deposit the award amount within three months from today. In the light of the said submission, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondent to deposit the amount awarded by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Kollam in Ext.P1 award in the manner directed by the Tribunal within three months from today. Upon such WP(C).No.1707/2010 2 deposit being made, it will be open to the petitioner to move the Tribunal for disbursement of the compensation in terms of Ext.P1 award. P.N.RAVINDRAN Judge TKS
