                        W.P.(C) 9421 of 2008
             -------------------------------------
                       Dated: MARCH 19, 2008

                             JUDGMENT

Non-payment of compensation awarded by the Tribunal in

Ext.P1 award is the grievance of the petitioner.

2. The award has been rendered by the MACT, Ernakulam in

O.P.(MV) 40/1998. Even according to the respondents there is no

dispute that the award has not become final. The only justification

of financial constraints cannot be a justification to avoid payment.

Accordingly I do not find any justification for the inordinate

delay already caused and hence this writ petition is disposed of

directing that the respondents shall deposit the amount of

compensation ordered in Ext.P1 award as expeditiously as possible,

at any rate, within three months of production of a copy of this

judgment.
