In Brief
The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation sought review of a High Court judgment in a compensation matter. The Supreme Court found that delay in the case was caused by negligence of the Corporation's employee, who faced departmental action. The Court permitted the respondent to withdraw Rs. 10,000 deposited as security, awarded an additional Rs. 10,000 as costs, and set aside the High Court's judgment to remit the matter for fresh hearing on merits. The appeal was disposed of as allowed.
