J U D G M E N T This appeal is preferred against the award of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Kozhikode in O.P.(MV)2037/01. The claimant, a 10 year old boy sustained injuries in a road accident and he was treated in the Koya's Hospital from 13.5.01 to 16.5.01. He had swelling pain and tenderness over the right thigh. He was treated with pain killers. The Tribunal has awarded a compensation of Rs.2,000/-. Considering the nature of injuries and hospitalisation I think the compensation awarded is just and adequate therefore the appeal lacks merit and it is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
