FAO No. 1183 of 2009 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH F.A.O. No. 1183 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 2.3.2010 Jugal Kishore .. Appellant v. Dharambir and another ..Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. N. D. Achint, Advocate for the appellant. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Challenge in the present appeal is to the award of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Gurgaon (for short, `the Tribunal'), whereby on account of injuries suffered by the claimant-appellant, he has been awarded compensation of Rs. 15,000/-. Briefly, the facts of the case, as have been noticed in the impugned award, are that on 13.12.2005, the appellant was travelling in a bus bearing No. HR-55-B/0498 from Gurgaon to Alipur. The driver of the bus was driving the bus at a fast speed. When the bus reached near Maha Laxmi Petrol Pump on Sohna- Gurgaon road near village Bhondsi, it struck against a stationary trolla bearing No. HR-38-J/9333 from behind. As a result of the impact, the appellant received injuries and fractures in both the legs. The learned Tribunal, after considering the evidence produced on record, awarded compensation of Rs. 15,000/-. That is how the appellant is before this Court. Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the learned Tribunal has failed to appreciate the evidence led before the Tribunal. The Tribunal has discarded the oral as well as documentary evidence produced by the appellant to the effect that he had suffered heart ailment on account of the said accident. A perusal of the impugned award shows that the learned Tribunal, after threadbare analysis of the evidence produced on record, held that after the accident, the appellant went to General Hospital, Sohna, where he was prescribed some medicines and allowed to go. On 15.12.2005, the appellant went to Dr. R. S. FAO No. 1183 of 2009 [2] Yadav with a stitched wound on his left foot. There was no evidence from where he had got the wound stitched and whether the said wound was received by him in the accident. On 4.1.2006, the appellant went to Kalyani Hospital, Gurgaon, where skin grafting was done and was discharged next day in good condition. The learned Tribunal held that the appellant received simple injuries and it could not be believed that he suffered heart ailment due to the accident which, in my opinion, cannot be said to be perverse. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 2.3.2010 mk
