HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO M.A.C.M.A.No.2244 OF 2011 JUDGMENT: The appeal is filed by the appellant/claimant against the order in M.V.O.P.No.1341 of 2001 on the file of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal-cum-VIII Additional District Judge, Guntur, questioning the quantum of compensation. 2. The petitioner is said to have received injuries in the motor accident on 30.10.2001 at about 10.00 A.M., when the auto hit him. He claims to have received multiple injuries and claimed a compensation of Rs.90,000/-. The 1st respondent, who is owner of the vehicle, remained ex parte and the 2nd respondent, which is the Insurance Company, filed a counter denying the averments in the petition, putting the petitioner to strict proof of the rashness and negligence on the part of the driver of the vehicle, nature of injuries and also the expenditure incurred by the petitioner. After considering the evidence on record, the learned Tribunal granted a compensation of Rs.10,000/-. Aggrieved by the said order, the present appeal is filed. 3. As can be seen from the material on record, the petitioner is said to have received a fracture to the left hand and he was treated in a private hospital and thereafter in Government hospital and was treated there for 13 days. The petitioner has not examined the doctor and therefore, the lower Tribunal did not take into consideration the documents. The petitioner claims to have spent about Rs.20,000/- for treatment. He filed the X-ray and other documents. The lower Tribunal has accepted that the petitioner has received a grievous injury and a simple injury and granted a compensation of Rs.8,000/- for injuries and a sum of Rs.2,000/- was granted for medical expenses. The fact remains that the petitioner was in hospital and suffered grievous injury and must have suffered pain. The fixation of compensation of Rs.7,000/- only towards grievous injury is too low. Therefore, taking into consideration of the above facts, I feel the ends of justice would meet if a compensation is fixed at Rs.25,000/- instead of Rs.10,000/- as granted by the lower Tribunal. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________________ JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO Date:23.09.2011 INL
