GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.V.T.K.MOHANAN THIS MOTOR ACCIDENT CLAIMS APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 22/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN, J. -------------------------- M.A.C.A. No. 445 OF 2007 --------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of August, 2008 JUDGMENT This appeal is preferred against the award passed by the Principal Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Kozhikode, in OP(MV) 1932/02. The claimant, a 72 year old man, sustained injuries in a road accident. A perusal of the wound certificate would reveal that he had a contusion on the left clavicle. X-Ray of the collar bone was suggested. No other document is produced to show that he had sustained a fracture or that he had undergone treatment for a prolonged period. He was only treated as outpatient. The Tribunal after taking into consideration all those facts, had awarded an amount of Rs.6,000/- as compensation. I feel the amount awarded by the Tribunal is just and reasonable from the materials available. Therefore, the appeal lacks merit and it is accordingly dismissed. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE vps
