W.P.(C) NO. 8497 OF 2009 (F)
=====================
Dated this the 23rd day of March, 2009
J U D G M E N T
Non payment of the compensation awarded by the MACT,
Kollam in OP(MV) No.758/92 rendered on 29/11/2000 is what is
complained of in this writ petition.
2. Standing counsel for the KSRTC has no dispute
regarding the finality that the award has attained and his only
justification for the non payment is financial constraints.
3. A reading of the award shows that the compensation
ordered was only Rs.17,000/- with interest thereon. Considering
the amount that is involved and also the long lapse of time since
the award has been passed, it is directed that the respondents
shall pay the award in the manner as directed by the Tribunal.
This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate
within 2 months of production of a copy of this judgment.
Writ petition is disposed of as above.
ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE
