THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.21584 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of July, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner's husband died in a motor accident involving a KSRTC bus. The petitioner obtained an award for compensation, which ended in Ext.P2 judgment of this Court in M.F.A.No.427/99. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that although the judgment was passed as early as on 16.12.2003, the petitioner is yet to receive the balance compensation amount. The petitioner therefore seeks a direction to the respondents to pay the amount urgently. 2. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the KSRTC submits that they can only deposit the amount in MACT and they seek two months time for the same. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to deposit the amounts due to the petitioner pursuant to Ext.P2 judgment, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
