HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO C.M.A.NO.1457 OF 2001 Dated: 29.04.2010 BETWEEN: Shankamuri Varalakshmi .. Appellant And V.Nageshwar Rao and another .. Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO C.M.A.NO.1457 OF 2001 JUDGMENT: This appeal is filed by the injured claimant challenging the award, dated 22.12.2000 passed by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal cum District Judge, Khammam in O.P.No.921 of 1996. 2. I have hard the learned counsel appearing for the appellant and the learned counsel appearing for the second respondent- insurance company. 3. The challenge to the award is only to the compensation granted by the Tribunal on the ground that it is not adequate. According to the appellant, she received multiple injuries in a motor vehicle accident occurred on 16.09.1995 at about 7.00 PM on account of the rash and negligent driving of the auto bearing No. AP 20 U 810 in which she was traveling. Though she claims to have sustained permanent disability, no doctor was examined and no disability certificate was filed. The appellant claims to have running a bakery in the name of Deepthi Modern Bread at New Palvancha. Absolutely, there is no evidence brought on record in proof of her avocation. Except marking Ex.A.3-injury certificate and Exs.A.4 to A.47 medical bills, no witness was examined on her behalf. She herself was examined as PW.1 and except her self-serving testimony, there is no other corroborative evidence. Even though, no person concerning the issuance of medical bills was examined by the appellant, the learned Tribunal after thoroughly calculating the amount covered by the medical bills, granted an amount of Rs.1,000/- towards medical expenses. Though, there is no evidence except the oral testimony of the appellant regarding loss of earnings, the learned Tribunal granted an amount of Rs.10,000/- under the said head. The learned Tribunal also granted an amount of Rs.5,000/- towards attendant charges and for the stay at Hyderabad during the period of treatment and another sum of Rs.5,000/- towards loss of teeth. Under various heads, the learned Tribunal granted total compensation amount of Rs.1,37,200/- as against the claim of Rs.5,25,000/- made by the appellant. Since the compensation granted by the learned Tribunal, considering the material available on record being just and reasonable, I am of the considered view that no case is made out for enhancement of compensation. Accordingly, the award passed by the learned Tribunal is confirmed. 4. In the result, the appeal fails and the same is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ R.KANTHA RAO,J Dated: 29.04.2010 Kvrm HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO C.M.A.NO.1457 OF 2001 Dated: 29.04.2010
