By the said order, a copy of which is Ext.P1, the claimants therein are entitled to a sum of Rs.4 Lakhs with interest thereon. It is seen that claiming payment under the said award, Ext.P2 notice has been issued to the second respondent on behalf of the petitioner and even that notice has not been responded to. 2. Taking note of the above, I direct the second respondent to consider the claim of the petitioner in Ext.P2 notice and a decision in the matter shall be taken in the light of Ext.P1 order of the Tribunal. This the second respondent shall do as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months of receipt of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition and the decision thereof shall be communicated to the claimants. W.P.(C).23735/11 2 3. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the second respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
