J U D G M E N T This appeal is preferred against the award of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Irinjalakuda in O.P.(MV)853/06. The claimant, a heavy vehicle driver, sustained injuries in a road accident and the Tribunal awarded him a compensation of Rs.32,200/-. A perusal of the award would reveal that there was a glass piece inside the forehead and a fracture of the frontal bone. No disability certificate is produced. The Tribunal has awarded the actual expenses incurred plus other expenses and granted Rs.2,500/- per month as loss of income for two months. It also granted compensation of Rs.10,000/- as pain and sufferings and Rs.5,000/- also for discomfort and loss of amenities. Over all analysis of the award would reveal that it is a just and reasonable compensation and therefore there is no merit in the appeal and hence it is dismissed. Sd/- M.N.
