BY ADV. SRI.B.PREMOD SRI.RENY ANTONY RESPONDENT: --------------- THE MANAGING DIRECTOR, KSRTC, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY SRI.JOHNSON P. JOHN, SC, KSRTC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 15256 OF 2008 N ==================== Dated this the 22nd day of July, 2008 J U D G M E N T The prayer sought in this writ petition is to direct the respondent to pay the amount awarded by the MACT, Kottayam in OP(MV) No.2149/1993. Ext.P1 is the common award from which it can be seen that compensation has been awarded by the Tribunal in the aforesaid case, in which the petitioner was one of the claimants. 2. KSRTC has no case that the award has not become final. If that be so, I see no justification to delay payment in respect of Ext.P1 award, which was rendered way back on 14th of March 2001. 3. Standing counsel undertakes that the amount in terms of the award will be paid within three months from today. I record the said submission. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the amount due in terms of the award in OP(MV) No.2149/1993 shall be paid by the respondent, as undertaken by them. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
