THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA C.M.A.No.865 of 2003 ORAL JUDGMENT: Heard both sides. Dissatisfied with the quantum of compensation awarded by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal-cum-II Additional District Judge, Kurnool (for short ‘the Tribunal’), in M.V.O.P.No.1005 of 2009, by order, dated 17.08.2001, the claimant preferred the present appeal. As against the claim of Rs.1,00,000/-, the Tribunal, after considering the evidence on record, awarded a sum of Rs.16,500/- towards compensation for the injuries suffered by the claimant in the accident that occurred 11.05.1998, involving the lorry bearing No.AP.15.U.2349, which is not in dispute. The claimant suffered fracture to the right clavicle bone due to the said accident. It is on record that she was hospitalised for 20 days for undergoing treatment. Ex.A-3- Certified copy of the wound certificate and Ex.A-4-X-ray film were marked on behalf of the claimant. Obviously, when the claimant was in hospital for 20 days for taking treatment to the fracture, the intensity of the injury can be estimated. Apart from that, the claimant being an unmarried lady, her marriage prospectus also had suffered to some extent due to the said fracture. Therefore, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I feel it expedient to enhance the amount of compensation by Rs.6,000/- (Rupees Six thousand only) more and the said enhanced compensation shall carry interest @ 7.5% per annum from the date of filing the claim petition till the date of realisation. The appeal is, accordingly allowed in part. However, there shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA​ 24th June 2010 dr
