A claim petition was filed by the petitioners under the Workmen's Compensation Act as W.C.C.No.73 of 2006 contending that the said death occurred out of and in the course of employment. Ext.P1 is the order passed in W.C.C.No.73 of 2006. As per the same, the respondent herein was directed to pay a compensation of Rs.2,78,260/- with interest at the rate of 12% per annum from the date of death viz., from 5.1.2005 till the date of payment. As per Ext.P1, the respondent was directed to effect payment within 30 days from the date of receipt of the order. The grievance of the petitioners who are the widow and children of the said Sreeharshan, is that despite Ext.P1 order the respondent has not deposited the amount awarded as per Ext.P1. This writ petition has been filed in the said circumstances praying for issuance of a writ of mandamus commanding the respondent to deposit the amount covered as per Ext.P1 order. 2. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners as also the learned standing counsel for the respondent. WP(C).No.33048/2010 2 The learned standing counsel for the respondent submitted that the amount covered as per Ext.P1 order would be deposited in terms of Ext.P1 within two months. This is recorded. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to deposit the amount covered as per Ext.P1 in terms of the same expeditiously, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
