THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO M.A.C.M.A.No. 2559 of 2011 JUDGMENT: The appeal is filed against the award dated 06.10.2004 in O.P.No.1595 of 2002 on the file of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal- cum-IX Additional Chief Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad questioning the quantum of compensation. The petitioner claimed a compensation of Rs.1,00,000/- for the injuries received by him in a motor accident on 21.12.2001 when he was traveling in the auto bearing No.AP13W 2710 and due to rash and negligent driving of the auto, it turned turtle, as a result of which he suffered multiple injuries and he is a barber by profession and he lost his earnings. The 1st respondent-owner remained ex parte and the 2nd respondent-insurance company filed counter denying the petition averments, nature of accident, nature of injuries and its liability. After recording the evidence on record, the lower Tribunal has granted a compensation of Rs.32,000/-. Aggrieved by the said award, the present appeal is filed. The point for consideration is whether the compensation granted by the lower Tribunal is just and reasonable? POINT: So far as the nature of the accident and the liability is concerned, there is not of much dispute and the insurance company has not preferred any appeal. So far as the nature of the incidents is concerned, the petitioner claimed that he sustained fracture of right thigh, left leg joint and other multiple injuries and he filed Ex.A-3 discharge card of Osmania General Hospital, Hyderabad wherein he was treated for about five days and subsequently he is said to have been examined by P.W.2, who opined that he has got 20% disability. The learned counsel for the appellant contends that the loss of income determined by the lower Tribunal apart from the extra nourishment and purchase of medicines is too low and it is not reasonable. According to her, the petitioner was admittedly in hospital for about five days and there was attendance, so also the fracture to the hands would cause partial temporary disability and loss of earnings estimated by the lower Tribunal is also not proper. Taking into consideration the above submissions of all injuries, I feel the ends of justice would meet, if the compensation is enhanced to Rs.50,000/-. Accordingly, the compensation is enhanced to Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only). With the above modification, the appeal is allowed. No costs. ________________________ N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO, J 29-10-2011 MR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO M.A.C.M.A. No. 2559 of 2011 DATE: 29-10-2011 MR
