THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO M.A.C.M.A.No.1347 of 2011 JUDGMENT: The appeal is filed by the insurance company challenging the grant of compensation of Rs.1,05,000/- for the injuries received by the petitioner in a motor accident on the file of the Motor Vehicles Accidents Claims Tribunal-cum-I Additional District Judge, Kadapa. 2. According to the case of the petitioner, when he was going in the Bus bearing No. ABC 5133, near Alamkhanpally, the driver of the lorry bearing No. AP D 7587 drove it in a rash and negligent manner and dashed against the bus, as a result, he received multiple injuries and claimed compensation of Rs.1,50,000/-. 3. The 1st respondent is owner and 2nd respondent is the insurance company. The 2nd respondent filed a counter denying the allegations in the petition and also quantum of compensation. 4. After considering the evidence on record, the lower Court found that the incident as pleaded by the petitioner is true and granted compensation of Rs.1,05,000/-. 5. As per the award of the lower Court Ex.A.2 is the wound certificate and it shows that there is a lacerated injury over dorsum of right hand and also amputation of right hand thumb and bleeding. The injuries are also shown as grievous. Evidently, the petitioner is said to be aged about 60 years and it cannot be denied that the amputation puts him to permanent disability. The lower tribunal has therefore taken into consideration the above facts and also the pain and suffering and granted a compensation of Rs.1,05,000/-. 6. Though the learned counsel for the appellant tried to contend that no medical evidence is adduced and no proof was filed about disability, the charge sheet Ex.A.3 filed by the police and also the wound certificate produced by the petitioner clearly shows the nature of the injuries received by the petitioner. 7. Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the quantum of compensation granted by the lower tribunal is confirmed. But, however, the interest is reduced from 9% to 7.5%. 8. Accordingly, the appeal is partly allowed. No costs. ________________________ N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO,J Date: 08.07.2011 INL
