By Ext.P1, award rendered on 20th of July 1994, the petitioner was awarded a compensation of Rs.27,016/- with interest. The award has become final and it is admitted that the amount has not been paid. I see absolutely no justification to have delayed the payment of such a small amount for more than 12 years. In view of this, I direct that the 1st respondent shall satisfy the dues in terms of Ext.P1 award, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within one month of receipt of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
