M.A.C.A. No.17 of 2009 .................................................................... Dated this the 9th day of January, 2009. JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. Heard counsel for the appellant. The appeal is filed for enhancement of compensation for the injury stated to have been sustained by the appellant in a road accident. On going through the award, we find that appellant did not adduce any evidence about the injury or disability. Moreover, hospitalisation was also only for two days, that too, for chest pain and pain of the leg. Even though Medical Board was constituted and was given an opportunity to be examined, appellant did not avail the same. Even in the absence of any evidence, MACT awarded a compensation of Rs.3,500/- with interest thereon. Of course this amount includes the expenditure for treatment which 2 was Rs.2,420/-. We do not think there is any scope for interference with the award of the MACT. The appeal is consequently dismissed. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge P.N.RAVINDRAN Judge pms
