By Ext.P1 award passed on 14.9.2004 the Tribunal awarded the sum of Rs.11,500/- as compensation and directed the respondent to pay the same with interest and costs.

When the writ petition came up for hearing today Sri.V.V.Nandagopal Nambiar, learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent, submitted that the Corporation will deposit the amount covered by Ext.P1 award in the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal within two months from today. In the light of the said submission and having regard to the fact that more than six years have passed after the award was passed, I dispose of the writ W.P(C) NO.7636/2011 -:2:- petition with a direction to the respondent to deposit the amount awarded in O.P(MV)No.1254/2000 in the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Alappuzha expeditiously and in any event within two months from today.
