J U D G M E N T The petitioner in O.P.(M.V.) No.668/2004, on the file of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Thodupuzha, is the appellant herein. The appellant met with a motor vehicle accident on 26.8.2004, and sustained injuries. He filed Original Petition claiming compensation. The Tribunal awarded an amount of Rs.78,377/= as compensation. The Tribunal has awarded an amount of Rs.15,000/= for pain and sufferings, Rs.30,097/= for treatment expenses, and Rs.17,280/= for disability. It has also accepted the disability certificate with slight modification. The Doctor assessed the disability to 10%. But the Tribunal has re-fixed the disability at 4%. In the facts and circumstances of the case, it cannot be said to be perverse or illegal. The quantum of compensation awarded is reasonable. So, I do not find any reason to interfere with the award. The appeal is only to be dismissed. In the result, the appeal is dismissed. K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, JUDGE nj.
