T.Ushanna and 5 others … Respondents/Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA Civil Miscellaneous Appeal No.1001 of 2003 Oral Judgment: Despite service of notices, none appears for respondents 3 and 5. Respondents 1, 2 and 4 are not necessary vide cause title. 2. Heard Sri Venkat Reddy Thipparthi, learned counsel for the appellant-claimant and Sri T.Ramulu, learned counsel for respondent No.6-insurer of lorry bearing No.AP11T-7304. 3. Appeal by the claimant challenging the order and decree, dated 20-6-2001, in O.P.No.1133 of 1997, passed by the Principal Special Judge for SPE & ACB Cases cum IV Additional Chief Judge, City Civil Court at Hyderabad awarding a sum of Rs.68,088/- as against the claim of Rs.1,00,000/- towards compensation for the injuries received by him in a motor vehicle accident that occurred on 23-3-1997 due to the rash and negligent driving on the part of the drivers of lorries bearing Nos.AP22U-918 and AP11T-7304, belonging to the respondents 1 and 4, respectively. 4. The details of the accident are not necessary to be mentioned since they are not in dispute. 5. The only question that is required to be gone into in this appeal is -- whether the amount of compensation awarded by the Tribunal is adequate and reasonable ? 6. The injuries received by the claimant in the accident are – (i) Lacerated injury 2” x 1” x 1” on the left leg (tibia); (ii) Abrasion of 2” x 2” on the feet of the left ankle. 7. The Tribunal having considered the medical bills etc., that were pressed into service, had granted a total sum of Rs.68,088/- towards compensation to the claimant for the injuries received by him in the accident. 8. It is the contention of the learned counsel for the claimant that the Tribunal having accepted the medical bills to a tune of Rs.36,000/-, had granted only Rs.21,693/- towards medical expenses. 9. In fact, having regard to the nature of injuries, I am of the opinion that Ex.A-4 injury certificate issued by the doctor who treated the injured is absolutely not satisfactory. However, the Tribunal, in my considered view, was benevolent in fixing the compensation of Rs.68,088/-. 10. For the foregoing, there are absolutely no merits in the appeal and the same deserves to be dismissed. 11. In the result, the appeal is dismissed, confirming the order under appeal. _______________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA 08th July, 2010.
