By Ext.P1 award passed on 4.11.2006 the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal awarded the sum of Rs.41,948/- as compensation to the petitioner and directed the respondent herein to pay the same with interest and costs. Aggrieved by the quantum of compensation awarded by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, the petitioner filed M.A.C.A.No.791 of 2007 in this Court. By Ext.P2 judgment delivered on 26.10.2010 a Division Bench of this Court granted an additional compensation of Rs.1,14,600/- and also corrected a clerical mistake committed by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal in determining the compensation. As per Ext.P2 judgment of this Court, the compensation awarded by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal by Ext.P1 award was W.P(C) NO.18066/2011 -:2:- corrected as Rs.42,248/- and this Court granted a further sum of Rs.1,14,600/- as compensation. The grievance voiced by the petitioner is that though the judgment of this Court has attained finality, till date the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation has not deposited the award amount in the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal. This writ petition is filed seeking appropriate directions in that regard. 2. When this writ petition came up for hearing today, Sri.V.V.Nandagopal Nambiar, learned standing counsel appearing for the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation, submitted that the Corporation will deposit the award amount in the manner directed by the Tribunal and this Court within two months from today. In the light of the said submission I dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent to deposit the amount covered by Ext.P1 award passed by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal as enhanced by this Court by Ext.P2 judgment in the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Muvattupuzha within two months W.P(C) NO.18066/2011 -:3:- from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before the respondent. Upon such deposit being made it will be open to the petitioner to move the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal for payment. P.N.RAVINDRAN, Judge. ahg.
