THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No.621 of 2003 ORAL JUDGMENT: Heard learned Standing Counsel for the appellant-A.P. State Road Transport Corporation as well as the learned counsel for the respondent-claimant. 2. Aggrieved by the order and decree, dated 13.6.2002, in O.P.No.476 of 1999, passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal- cum-III Additional Chief Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, (for brevity “the Tribunal”), awarding compensation of Rs.63,654/- as against the claim of Rs.2,00,000/- for the injuries sustained by the respondent- claimant in the motor accident that occurred on 10.2.1998 at 3-00 p.m., near Debbadguda village, due to the rash and negligent driving on the part of the driver of the bus, bearing registration No.AEZ 373, belonging to the A.P. State Road Transport Corporation, the present civil miscellaneous appeal has been preferred by the Corporation. 3. The appellant herein is the Corporation and the respondent is the claimant. The facts leading to the accident are not in dispute. The particulars regarding the method and manner in which the accident took place are not referred to since already on record. The Tribunal, after appreciating the evidence on record, both oral and documentary, awarded a sum of Rs.63,654/- towards compensation to the claimant. Hence the present appeal by the respondent-claimant. 4. The only point that arises for consideration in this appeal is whether the quantum of compensation awarded by the Tribunal is proper and justified. 5. As per Ex.A-2 discharge summary, the claimant received contusions and lacerated injuries in addition to perforation of his intestine. The same is evident from Ex.A-4 certificate issued by the Doctor of Yashoda Hospital. Therefore, having regard to the said injuries, though they appear to be minor, still because of the serious nature of perforation of intestine and also by taking into consideration the expenditure incurred by the claimant towards treatment, the Tribunal has rightly awarded a sum of Rs.63,654/- towards compensation. 6. Therefore, I do not find any irrationality in the compensation awarded by the Tribunal and the order of the Tribunal do not suffer from any infirmity. 7. In the result, the civil miscellaneous appeal is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA 24.06.2010 Msr.
