No. 731, 687 & 772 OF 2004 -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of May, 2009 JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair,J. Connected appeals arise from claim petitions filed for compensation for the injuries sustained by the appellants in the same accident. While appellant in MACA No. 772/2004 is the minor daughter of appellant in MACA No. 731 of 2004, the appellant in MACA 687 of 2004 is co-passenger along with other appellants in the car which hit against a lorry whose driver was found to be negligible. After hearing both sides and on going through the awards we find reasonable compensation is awarded under various heads considering the injuries sustained by the appellant. We therefore do not find any ground to interfere with the awards passed by the MACT. Consequently appeals are dismissed. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge. (C. K. ABDUL REHIM) Judge. kk 2
