IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH : HYDERABAD TUESDAY, THE FIRST (1ST) DAY OF NOVEMBER, TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN Present: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY MA CMA No.3932 of 2009 Between: Thakur Shaarda Rani … Appellant And: S. Maruthi & another … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY MA CMA No.3932 of 2009 JUDGMENT: This appeal is directed against the order dated 20.08.2009 in OP No.34 of 2008 on the file of the MACT cum Principal District Judge, Medak at Sangareddy, wherein the said claim of the appellant herein was allowed in part awarding compensation of Rs.1,68,600/-. 2. Heard both sides. Perused the record. 3. The first appellant herein filed claim application under section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, claiming compensation of Rs.6,00,000/- for the injuries sustained by him in the motor vehicle accident that occurred on 03.09.2007. The respondents opposed the claim. After due enquiry, the Tribunal held that the accident occurred due to the rash and negligent driving of the Tata Sumo vehicle by its driver. The Tribunal awarded total compensation of Rs.1,68,600/-. The respondents have not filed any appeal assailing the award. The claimant filed appeal seeking enhancement of the compensation. During pendency of the appeal, the claimant died and her son is impleaded as LR of the deceased appellant- claimant by orders dated 01.11.2011 in MA CMA MP No.3574 of 2011. 4. A perusal of the award would disclose that the Tribunal awarded Rs.65,000/- towards pain and suffering for one simple injury and four grievous injuries, Rs.10,000/- towards extra nourishment, attendant charges and transport charges and Rs.6,000/- towards loss of earnings for three months and Rs.81,600/- towards compensation for permanent disability of 20% and Rs.6,000/- towards medical expenses, totaling to Rs.1,68,600/-. As the claimant since died, the question of claiming any amount towards general damages does not arise. Insofar as the special damages are concerned, the various amounts awarded by the Tribunal are considered to be just and reasonable and they do not warrant any enhancement. In the circumstances, the impugned order awarding compensation of Rs.1,68,600/- is held not liable to be interfered with and the award is accordingly confirmed. 5. In the result, the appeal is dismissed. No order as to costs. __________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J Date: 01.11.2011 bss
