THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No.2068 of 2003 ORAL JUDGMENT: Heard both sides. 2. Aggrieved by the order and decree, dated 30.6.2001, in O.P.No.427 of 1995, passed by the Chairman, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal-cum-District Judge, Anantapur (for brevity “the Tribunal”), awarding compensation of Rs.45,000/- as against the claim of Rs.1,80,000/- for the injuries sustained by the 1st respondent-claimant in a motor accident that occurred on 25.5.1995 at about 4-30 a.m., near Muchukota ghat road (Anantapur-Tadipatri road), due to the rash and negligent driving on the part of the driver of the car, bearing No.AP-02- 4799, belonging to the 3rd respondent-owner, the present civil miscellaneous appeal has been preferred by the appellant-Oriental Insurance Company Limited. 3. The appellant herein is the insurer, 1st respondent is the claimant, 2nd respondent is the driver and 3rd respondent is the owner of the offending car. The particulars regarding the method and manner in which the accident took place are not referred to since already on record. The Tribunal, after appreciating the evidence on record, both oral and documentary, awarded a sum of Rs.45,000/- holding the insurer and the owner of the car jointly and severally liable to pay the compensation. Aggrieved by the same, the present appeal is filed by the appellant-insurer. 4. The only point that arises for consideration in this appeal is whether the quantum of compensation awarded by the Tribunal is proper and justified. 5. The total amount of compensation awarded by the Tribunal is Rs.45,000/- holding the insurer and the owner of the car jointly and severally liable to pay the compensation. In such event, the quantum of compensation under challenge is too trivial for this Court to consider. 6. Therefore, at this length of time, I do not feel it expedient to interfere with the amount of compensation awarded by the Tribunal and the order of the Tribunal does not suffer from any infirmity. 7. In the result, the civil miscellaneous appeal is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA 22.07.2010.
