THIS MOTOR ACCIDENT CLAIMS APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 21/10/2008,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: prv. M.N.KRISHNAN, J ===================== MACA No.845 OF 2008 ===================== Dated this the 21st day of October 2008 JUDGMENT This appeal is preferred against the award of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Ernakulam in O.P.(MV)No.2295 of 2001. The claimant has been awarded a compensation of Rs.9,000/-. A perusal of the award would reveal that he had sustained six abrasions with different dimensions and one irregular wound as well as loss of incisor. Certainly, the nature of injuries would have caused him excruciating pain and he would not have been in a position to do work for some time. Taking into consideration all these aspects, I am inclined to enhance the compensation by Rs.3,000/-. Therefore MACA is partly allowed and the claimant is entitled to an additional compensation of Rs.3,000/- with 7.5% interest on the said sum from the date of petition till realisation and the insurance company is directed to deposit the amount within 60 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
