THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No.2491 of 2003 Date:30.09.2010 Between: Datla Subba Raju and others ..... Appellants AND Komirelli Narayana and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Appellants: Mr. M.V.K. Viswanadham Counsel for Respondent No.3: Ms. Aruna Yalagiri for Mr. K. Kishore Kumar Reddy, standing counsel Counsel for Respondent Nos. 1 and 2: None appeared The Court made the following: ORDER: The husband and two sons of one Bangaramma, who died in a motor accident on 14.11.1997 filed the present appeal dissatisfied with the quantum of compensation awarded for the death of the deceased by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal-cum-District Judge’s Court, Khammam (for short ‘the Tribunal’) by his award dated 18.03.2002 in O.P.No.34 of 1998. After finding that the accident has taken place due to the rash and negligent driving of the driver of the offending vehicle, the Tribunal has considered the oral and documentary evidence and awarded a lumpsum amount of Rs.1,25,000/-. The Tribunal has taken the age of the deceased as forty (40) years in awarding the lumpsum compensation. After hearing Mr. M.V.K.Viswanatham, the learned counsel for the appellant and the learned counsel appearing for respondent No.3, I am of the opinion that though the Tribunal ought to have discussed various heads under which compensation was liable to be awarded, taking into consideration the overall facts and circumstances of the case, the quantum of Rs.1,25,000/- fixed as compensation for the death of the deceased towards the general and special damages cannot be said to be too unreasonable to be interfered with. In this view of the matter, I do not find any merit in the appeal and the same is accordingly dismissed. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 30th September, 2010 GHN
