Appellant-petitioner, at the age of 11, met with a motor accident by which he suffered fracture to the femur. The Tribunal noticed that wound certificate and discharge certificate were not produced. Only the medical bills are produced and no charge sheet was produced. The Insurance Company contended that the petitioner sustained only minor injuries. In any way, the consequential difficulties due to fracture sustained to an 11 year boy will be minimal. The Tribunal awarded Rs.25,000/- which is coverable under Section 140 and that was satisfied with the Insurance Company. Considering the nature of injuries and the findings entered into by the Tribunal, we are of view that there is no ground to interfere with the award of the Tribunal. The appeal is dismissed.
