Learned counsel for respondent Nos.1 and 2 submits that the amounts have already been paid. 4. Be that as it may. Once an award has been passed, a writ petition is not maintainable to enforce the award. 5. It is always open for the petitioners to execute the award by filing necessary execution proceedings. 6. Reserving such liberty, petition stands disposed. Sd/- (SURAJ GOVINDARAJ) JUDGE SH CT:PA List No.: 1 Sl No.: 49
