The appellant herein is the respondent in M.V.O.P.No.329 of 2002 before the tribunal below. The claimant filed the said O.P., claiming compensation of Rs.5,00,000/- for the injuries sustained by him in a road traffic accident that occurred on 08-5-2002. The tribunal below, while assessing the evidence on record, awarded compensation of Rs.3,25,000/- under all heads. Being aggrieved, the present civil miscellaneous appeal is filed by the Corporation. 3. The learned Standing Counsel for the appellant-Corporation mainly urged that the tribunal below granted compensation very liberally and the same is to be reduced. 4. The learned counsel for the respondent-claimant, while opposing the said argument, urged that the tribunal below has rightly considered the evidence of P.W.2 and the documentary evidence filed by P.W.1 and awarded the compensation, which needs no interference. 5. Now, the point for consideration is -- whether the compensation granted by the tribunal below is justified ? 6. Point:- The factum of accident is not disputed. In proof of the injuries, P.W.2 Dr. V.Sunanda Kumar Reddy is examined. According to him, the injured sustained fracture femur with neuro vascular injury to his left leg and issued Ex.A-5 permanent disability certificate and accordingly opined that the petitioner sustained 60% permanent disability. The tribunal below while assessing the evidence of P.W.2 awarded compensation of Rs.5,000/- towards one grievous injury, Rs.3,000/- towards three simple injuries, Rs.1,30,000/- towards extra nourishment and medical expenses, transport to hospital and Attendant charges, Rs.1,000/- towards damage of clothing and other articles, Rs.13,000/- towards pain and suffering and Rs.1,73,000/- towards loss of amenities of life and future earnings of the injured. 7. Having gone through the impugned award passed by the tribunal below, while assessing gravity of the injuries, the award of compensation granted by the tribunal below is sustainable. Therefore, I see no grounds to interfere with the findings of the tribunal below. 8. Accordingly, the civil miscellaneous appeal is dismissed, confirming the impugned award passed by the tribunal below. No costs. ___________________ K.S.APPA RAO, J. 08th July, 2011.
