J U D G M E N T This appeal is filed by the petitioner in O.P.(M.V.) No.1162/2000, on the file of the Principal Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Kozhikode, complaining that the compensation awarded is inadequate. The appellant-petitioner had sustained two injuries, abrasion, skin deep on left side of occipital region and swelling near the left eye. The Tribunal had awarded a compensation of Rs.10,000/=, which is very reasonable. Therefore, I do not find any reason to enhance the compensation already awarded. There is no merit in the appeal, and the same is only to be dismissed. In the result, the appeal is dismissed. K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, JUDGE nj.
