THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.S.APPA RAO M.A.C.M.A.No.625 of 2008 JUDGMENT: This civil miscellaneous appeal is preferred aggrieved by the judgment dated 15.11.2007 in O.P.No.556 of 2004 on the file of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal-cum-V Additional District Judge (Fast Track Court), Nizamabad. 2. The appellant herein is the claimant in the above O.P. The appellant filed the above O.P., claiming compensation of Rs.3,00,000/- for the injuries sustained by him in the road traffic accident occurred on 16.3.2004, when a jeep bearing No.AP-25-T-6253 dashed his cycle from behind, near Chand Dhabha, Arsapally while he was going on his cycle to Nizamabad from Arsapally. 3. In support of his claim, the claimant examined himself as PW1 and examined PW2-Dr. V. Akhilesh and got marked Exs.A1 to A7. On behalf of the respondents, Exs.B1 to B4 documents were marked. 4. The Tribunal below while evaluating the evidence on record awarded total compensation of Rs.45,000/- under all heads against the claim of Rs.3,00,000/-. Being aggrieved by the said compensation, the claimant preferred the present CMA. 5. The learned Counsel appearing for the appellant-injured mainly urged that though the claim was about Rs.3,00,000/-, the Tribunal below granted very meager compensation and the same is not sustainable. While placing reliance on the evidence of P.W.2 and Ex.A3-wound certificate, the learned Counsel sought for enhancement of compensation. 6. The learned Counsel appearing for the Insurance-Company while supporting the finding of the Tribunal below urged that the compensation awarded is very reasonable. 7. Now the point for consideration is whether the claimant is entitled for any enhancement of compensation? 8. In the present case, the factum of accident is not in dispute. The claimant-injured while examining himself as P.W.1, examined P.W.2- Dr.V. Akhilesh and filed Exs.A1 to A7. Among the said documents, Ex.A3 is the crucial one, basing on which, the Court has to fix the compensation. According to P.W.2, he examined P.W.1 and found the following injuries: 1. Fracture of both bones of the right leg; 2. Fracture of lateral condyle of left humerus 3. Fracture of distal radius and ulna, right wrist; 4. Multiple abrasions on right leg; 5. Laceration on right forearm. As per his opinion, the injuries 1 to 3 are grievous and injuries 4 & 5 are simple in nature. 9. The Tribunal below in the impugned order while granting compensation under the heads of medical expenses, attendance, pain and suffering and loss of earnings, failed to grant compensation towards injuries sustained by P.W.1. Taking into consideration the evidence of P.W.2 and Ex.A3 that the petitioner sustained three grievous injuries and two simple injuries, this Court is of the view that granting of compensation of Rs.15,000/- to each grievous injury besides granting Rs.2,500/- to each simple injury is just and reasonable to meet the ends of justice. However, the finding of the Tribunal in granting compensation of Rs.18,000/- towards the medical, extra-dict, attendance; Rs.18,000/- towards pain and suffering and Rs.9,000/- towards loss of earnings is confirmed. Accordingly, the compensation of Rs.45,000/- is enhanced to Rs.95,000/-. 10. With these modifications, the appeal is partly allowed. The enhanced amount shall carry interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum from the date of petition till realisation. ______________ K.S.APPA RAO,J Dt.07.07.2011 Nn THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.S.APPA RAO M.A.C.M.A.No.625 of 2008 7.7.2011
