IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANTONY DOMINIC FRIDAY, THE 22ND AUGUST 2008 / 31ST SRAVANA 1930 W.P(C).No. 23622 of 2008(K) --------------------------------- AGAINST THE ORDER DATED 31/01/2001 IN EP 82/2002 IN OPMV.2430/1995 of MOTOR ACCIDENT CLAIMS TRIBUNAL, KOLLAM .............................................. PETITIONER: -------------- SIYAD, S/O.M.BASHEER, VALYATHUTHARA PADA NORTH, KARUNAGAPPALLY, KOLLAM. BY ADV. SRI.PRATHEESH.P RESPONDENT: ---------------- MANAGING DIRECTOR, KSRTC THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY ADV. JOHNSON P. JOHN, SC FOR KSRTC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 23622 OF 2008 K ==================== Dated this the 22nd day of August, 2008 J U D G M E N T Heard both sides. 2. Non payment of the amount due under Ext.P1 award as modified by Ext.P2 judgment is what is complained of in this writ petition. It is also stated that although an execution petition was filed, that also did not yield any result. 3. A perusal of Ext.P1 shows that the accident in question occurred in 1995 and the award was rendered way back in 2001. Though the fact remains that the appeal was disposed of only in 2008, still having regard to the long lapse of time, I see no justification for the further delay in the payment of the amount due to the claimants. 4. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the amount due to the claimants in OP(MV) No.2430/95, in which Ext.P1 award was rendered by the MACT, Kollam shall be paid in the following manner. That the 50% of the amount due shall be paid within 3 months from today and the balance 50% shall be paid within 3 months thereafter. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
