THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No.1572 of 2003 ORAL JUDGMENT: Heard both sides. 2. Aggrieved by the order and decree, dated 10.03.1998, passed by the Additional District Judge, Anantapur-cum-Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, in O.P.No.493 of 1996, awarding a sum of Rs.41,000/-, towards compensation for the injuries sustained by the petitioner therein, in a road accident that occurred on 01.03.1996, the appellant-Oriental Insurance Company Limited has filed the present Civil Miscellaneous Appeal. 3. I have perused the impugned order, passed by the Tribunal, wherein it was held that the accident occurred due to rash and negligent driving of the driver of the van, and awarded a sum of Rs.36,000/- towards pain and suffering for grievous injuries, Rs.3,000/- towards pain and suffering for simple injuries and Rs.2,000/- towards notional medical expenditure, attendant charges and extra nourishment. The Tribunal has elaborately dealt with all the aspects and granted the compensation. 4. In view of the nature of the injuries i.e., injury Nos.1, 2 and 5, which are grievous, and injury Nos.3 and 4, which are simple, the compensation awarded by the Tribunal is not irrational and hence, I deem it inexpedient to interfere with the impugned award, passed by the Tribunal, and the appeal is liable to be dismissed. 5. In the result, the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is dismissed without costs. _____________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA 22ND July 2010 dr
