NO. 2603 OF 2008 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 20th day of November, 2008. J U D G M E N T This appeal is preferred against the award of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Ernakulam in O.P.(MV)3536/01. The claimant, a 37 year old man, sustained injuries in a road accident which are, (1) Abrasion over the right eyebrow, (2) multiple abrasions over right lower limb (3) left upper limb pain and (4) tenderness over the knee and middle finger. He was treated as an inpatient for two days. He had expended Rs.3,613/- towards medical expenses. It was stated that he had a fracture on one tooth. No injury to the tooth is revealed from the wound certificate. The Tribunal also considered the question why he has taken three months leave for this injury. It is very clear from the injury sustained that they are simple in nature and the period of hospitalisation of two days would also reestablish the same. The Tribunal took note of the entire materials and awarded a reasonable compensation of Rs.8,000/- which does not call for any interference. Therefore the appeal is dismissed. M.N.
