FIRST APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/07/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, J. ------------------------------------------ M.F.A 892 of 2002 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of July, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner in O.P(MV) 195/1999 on the file of the additional Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Alleppey, is the appellant. The appellant filed an Original Petition claiming compensation alleging that he sustained injuries in a motor vehicle accident which took place at 7 P.M on 16-11- 1998. Admittedly the petitioner was a pillion rider in the motor cycle. He sustained a fracture of the left little toe and the Tribunal awarded a compensation of Rs. 5,000/- It cannot be said that the amount of award is inadequate. So I do not find any ground to interfere with the quantum of compensation. This appeal lacks merits and is only to be dismissed. In the result, the appeal is dismissed K.PADMANABHAN NAIR,JUDGE es
