HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO M.A.C.M.A.No.2133 OF 2011 JUDGMENT: The appeal is filed against the order in O.P.No.71 of 2001 on the file of the III Additional Chief Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad. The appellant is claimant, who claimed a compensation of Rs.1,00,000/- for the injuries received by him in the motor accident. 2. According to the case of the petitioner, on 16.10.2000 at about 11.30 P.M., when the petitioner was travelling in a Car bearing No.AP 9Q 2688, the Tipper bearing No.AP 9 U 1933 driven by its driver, came in a rash and negligent manner and dashed against the car, as a result of which, the petitioner received multiple injuries, which are grievous in nature, and therefore, he was treated in hospital and spent money for treatment. The Insurance Company has disputed the nature of the incident and also the nature of the injuries received by the petitioner and treatment. The lower Tribunal after assessing the evidence came to the conclusion that the incident as pleaded by the petitioner is true and granted a compensation of Rs.12,000/-. 3. The evidence of PW.1 shows that he received injury to his left eye and lost partial eye sight and he filed Exs.A.3, 5, 7 and 8. The lower Tribunal has found that the petitioner has received only simple injuries and granted a sum of Rs.5,000/- towards pain and suffering. The Medical bills were filed to a tune of Rs.5,500/- and the lower Tribunal has granted the same. The lower Tribunal has considered that at least for 15 days the petitioner would have suffered loss of earnings and fixed at Rs.500/- towards loss of earnings and also granted a sum of Rs.1,000/- towards travelling expenses and extra nourishment. Evidently, the petitioner has not examined the doctor nor produced any evidence of disability. Therefore, taking into consideration the above fact and also the injuries simple, it cannot be said that the claim of the petitioner for a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- is real. However, taking into consideration of the injuries and suffering caused by the petitioner, the compensation is enhanced to Rs.15,000/- instead of Rs.12,000/-. Accordingly, M.A.C.M.A. is allowed in part. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________________ JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO Date:20.09.2011 INL
