J U D G M E N T These appeals are preferred against the awards of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Kottayam, in O.P.(M.V) Nos.83 & 407 of 1998. The appellants are the claimants who had sustained injuries in a road accident. The court below has awarded a total compensation of Rs.3500/= each in these cases. It is against that, the present appeals were preferred. 2. The learned counsel appearing for the appellants had made available before me the wound certificates of the claimants. So far as O.P.(MV) No.83/1998 is concerned, appellant therein had sustained a contusion on the sacrolac region and also an abraded contusion on the right thigh. In the other case, O.P.(MV) No.407/1998, the appellant had sustained a contusion on middle of thigh and also an abrasion. The wound certificates further reveal that there were no bony injuries. One person was in the hospital for one day and the other person was in the hospital for two days. NACA Nos.370 & 391/2004 2 Taking into consideration the materials available, viz., wound certificates, the court below has awarded a compensation of Rs.3500/= each in both these cases. It is only just and reasonable, and does not call for any interference. Therefore, both these appeals are dismissed. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE nj.
