KRISHNAN, J. ........................................... M.A.C.A.No.31 OF 2010 ............................................. Dated this the 13th day of January, 2010. J U D G M E N T This is an appeal preferred against the award of the Claims Tribunal, Pala in OP(MV)No.181/2008. The claimant sustained injuries in a road accident and the Tribunal has awarded him a compensation of Rs.29,500/=.He was treated in Matha Hospital, Thellakam and he had sustained an injury of 8x6 cm on the right leg and multiple abrasions. He had expended about Rs.16,500/= for treatment. 2. The learned counsel would contend that the income taken is low and no compensation is granted for loss of amenities. It has to be stated that the injury noted is only a lacerated wound on the right leg with abrasions. 3. I think, for such an injury the claimant has been compensated adequately on almost all heads and pain and suffering compensation for ten days treatment is also granted as Rs.8,000/=. The award is just and reasonable which does not call for any interference. Therefore the appeal is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE cl : 2 : : 3 :
