THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No.909 of 2003 ORAL JUDGMENT: Heard learned counsel for the appellant as well as learned counsel for the respondent. 2. Aggrieved by the order and decree, dated 31.8.2002, in O.P.No.523 of 1999, passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal- cum-District Judge, Ranga Reddy District, Hyderabad, (for brevity “the Tribunal”), awarding compensation of 50,000/- as against the claim of Rs.1,00,000/- for the injuries sustained by the respondent-claimant in the motor accident that occurred on 11.4.1999 at about 7-00 p.m., near Ramanthapur Bus stage, due to the rash and negligent driving of the scooter, bearing No.ATI 7250, by the appellant, the present civil miscellaneous appeal has been preferred. 3. The appellant herein is the owner-cum-driver of the offending vehicle and respondent is the claimant. 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.50,000/- towards compensation to the claimant. Hence the present appeal. 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. As per Exs.A-4 to A-6, the claimant received grievous injury. He received fracture of both bones of left leg. He was operated and a road was also fixed. The claimant took treatment in Osmania General Hospital and also N.I.M.S., for a considerable period. Ex.A-10 is the bunch of medical bills, which shows that he incurred substantial amount towards the treatment. Therefore, having regard to the serious nature of injuries and also by taking into consideration the expenditure incurred by the claimant towards treatment, the Tribunal has rightly awarded a sum of Rs.50,000/- towards compensation. 6. Therefore, I do not find any irrationality in the compensation awarded by the Tribunal and the order of the Tribunal does not call for any interference by this Court. 7. In the result, the civil miscellaneous appeal is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA 08.07.2010 Msr.
