S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 14071 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 29th day of July, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is aggrieved by revenue recovery proceedings initiated by the Revenue authorities for recovery of the amount awarded by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Alappuzha, in O.P (M.V.)No.2138/2002 to the petitioner therein. The petitioner's grievance is that the petitioner was not aware of the award and, therefore, he could not challenge the same at the relevant time. The petitioner submits that he has filed an application for a certified copy of the award before the MACT and he seeks a breathing time to get the certified copy to file an appeal. It is now admitted that pursuant to the interim order passed by this Court, the petitioner has received certified copy of the award. In the above circumstances, it is for the petitioner to file appeal against the award and seek interim stay. To enable the petitioner to do so, I direct that revenue recovery proceedings be kept in abeyance for a period of one more week. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
