THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO M.A.C.M.A.No.1353 of 2011 JUDGMENT: The appeal is filed against the order in I.A.No.931 of 2000 in M.V.O.P.No.217 of 1997 on the file of the District Judge-cum- Chairman, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Chittoor, where-under delay of 240 days in filing the application to set aside the ex parte decree was dismissed. 2. The O.P. was filed for recovery of compensation for injuries received by the minor boy in a motor accident. The lower Court has considered the evidence of PWs.1 and 2 and found that there are no justifiable or reasonable grounds to condone the delay. The delay is being abnormal, the lower Tribunal was not inclined to condone the delay. But, however, in this case the fact remains that the insurance of the vehicle is not seriously disputed, though some doubt is sought to be created. 3. Taking into consideration the injured being a minor boy and the O.P. being of the year 1997 and the quantum of compensation granted being very meagre, I do not think that at this stage, there are any grounds to interfere with the order of the Court below in refusing to condone the delay, so also the request of the counsel for the appellant that interest granted is excessive also cannot be considered at this stage since the decree has already been complied with and the amount was deposited. 4. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed and the injured is permitted to withdraw the amount lying in deposit. No costs. _______________________ N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO,J Date: 08.07.2011 INL
