HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA M.A.C.M.A.No.3458 of 2011 JUDGMENT: This appeal is ﬁled by the insurance Company challenging the order, dated 29.01.2010, passed in M.V.O.P.No.69 of 2006 on the ﬁle of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal-cum-I Additional District Judge, Srikakulam, whereby the claimant was granted compensation of Rs.10,000/-. 2. The brief facts of the case are that the claimant along with others boarded the oﬀending bus bearing No. AP 30 T 3282 to reach his Village. When the bus reached near the land of one Bodasingi Dali Naidu, between Kancharam and Kothakancharam Villages, at about 03:15 pm, the driver of the oﬀending bus drove the same at a high speed in a rash and negligent manner and lost control over the vehicle, due to which, the claimant herein sustained injuries. 3. The Tribunal, on appreciation of the oral and documentary evidence on record, found that the accident took place on account of rash and negligent driving on the part of the driver of the oﬀending bus and accordingly, awarded compensation of Rs.10,000/- for the following injuries suffered by the claimant. 1) Bone deep lacerated injury over left back of elbow 4” x 2” x ½” size. 2) Contusion on left upper arm 6” x 3” x 1” size. 4. I have gone through the impugned order passed by the Tribunal and ﬁnd that there are no grounds to reduce the compensation, in any manner, awarded to the claimant on account of injuries suﬀered by him and resultantly the appeal ﬁled by the Insurance Company is liable to be dismissed. 5. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. However, it is made clear that the dismissal of this appeal shall not operate as res judicate against the insurance Company in the appeals arising out of the same accident. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________________ JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA 16th November 2011 DR
