THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO C.M.A. No. 815 of 2011 JUDGMENT: The present appeal is filed by the claimant against the award dated 30.01.2004 in WC/72/2003 on the file of the Commissioner for the Workmen’s Compensation and the Assistant Commissioner of Labour, Hyderabad-II for the injuries received by him in a motor accident. According to the claim of the petitioner, on 09.01.2003 when he was driving the vehicle bearing No.AP 28V 2404 as a driver, an accident has happened and in the said accident he suffered multiple injuries and suffered loss of earnings and also suffered disability and spent money for treatment and he was earning a sum of Rs.4,500/- per month as salary apart from batta and claimed a compensation of Rs.4,00,000/-. The Insurance Company and the owner of the vehicle did not appear before the lower Tribunal. After considering the evidence on record, the lower Tribunal has granted a compensation of Rs.2,21,067/-. The learned counsel for the appellant contends that the disability suffered by the petitioner is permanent and he could not drive the vehicle and the evidence of the doctor clearly goes to show that he estimated disability at 50% partial and permanent and he also opined that if the appellant undergoes treatment, it will equally decrease limb length and there will be functional disability. Evidently, there is nothing on record to show that due to the injuries the petitioner cannot take up any other employment and could not earn to have a livelihood. Even though the doctor has given in his certificate the disability at 50%, the lower Tribunal has taken the disability at 60% and determined the compensation. In the nature of the incident and in view of the evidence available on record, I do not think that the method adopted by the lower Tribunal is not in accordance with the settled principles of law. Accordingly, the award does not call for any interference. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. No costs. ________________________ N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO, J 27-07-2011 MR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO C.M.A. No. 815 of 2011 DATE: 27-07-2011 MR
