JUDGMENT Koshy,J. The petitioner sustained injuries in a motor accident on 23.11.1991. The petitioner approached the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal for compensation. The total amount of compensation granted was Rs.48,263/- with 12% interest from 14.6.1992, the date of application. The award was passed on 19.12.1998. The Tribunal found that he rejoined duty and there was no permanent disability or loss of earning capacitgy. The injuries were on the right index ring and little fingers. Since the appellant insisted that he had permanent disability we referred him to the Medical Board. But when the Medical Board was constituted twice, he did not appear. He rejoined duty and there is nothing to show that there was any reduction in the earning capacity. We are of the opinion that just and reasonable MFA 984/99 -: 2 :- compensation is awarded and no interference is called for at the instance of the claimant. Appeal is dismissed. J.B.Koshy, Judge. P.N.Ravindran, Judge. ess 27/5
