Ext.P1 is the award by which the Tribunal has granted compensation to the claimants. 2. Though notice has been served and counsel has entered appearance on behalf of the respondent, neither is there any counter affidavit nor has the respondent a contention that the award has not become final. If that be so, there is absolutely no justification for the non deposit of the amount awarded. 3. In view of this, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the respondent shall deposit the compensation awarded by the MACT, Irinjalakuda in Ext.P1 award rendered in OP(MV) No.1563/2000. This shall WPC 34284/07 :2 : be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
