THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO C.M.A.No. 2169 of 2000 JUDGMENT: I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the appellant. None appears for the respondents. 2. This appeal is filed by the appellant/insurance company, which is the second respondent before the Tribunal questioning the quantum of compensation granted to the claimants on the ground that it is excessive. 3. In respect of the death of the deceased, aged 22 years who died in a motor vehicle accident, as against the claim of Rs.1,50,000/-, the Tribunal awarded a sum of rs.1,32,400/- which is just and reasonable having regard to the reasons assigned by the learned Tribunal. 4. Further the appellant-insurance company did not file a petition under Section 170 of the Motor Vehicles Act to urge the contentions available to the insured. Therefore, in this appeal it cannot question the quantum of compensation and the appeal itself is not maintainable. 5. The appeal is, therefore, dismissed without any order as to costs. ____________________ R. KANTHA RAO, J Date:25.09.2009 CCM
