JUDGMENT Non payment of the compensation awarded by the MACT, Punalur in OP(MV).Nos.1747/94 &875/02, is what is complained of in these writ petitions. Standing counsel appearing for the respondents has no quarrel about the finality that the award has attained. If that be so, there is absolutely no justification for non-payment of the amount under the award even at this distance of time. Therefore I direct the 2nd respondent to pay the amount awarded by the Tribunal in the aforesaid awards, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 8 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. Writ petitions are disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
