IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. FAO No.4770/2008 Date of Decision:6.3.2009. Dharampal Singh ..........Appellant Versus Ranjit Singh and another ..........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH. Present: Mr.J.S.Yadav,Advocate for the appellant-claimant. JASWANT SINGH,J(Oral). Appellant-claimant has preferred the present appeal against the award dated 25.8.2008 passed by learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Gurgaon, whereby his claim petition under Section 163-A of the Motor Vehicles Act,1988, seeking compensation for the injuries sustained by him in a motor vehicular accident has been dismissed. Learned counsel contends that appellant-claimant suffered injuries in the alleged accident whereby his left leg was amputated and his left thigh, right thigh and right leg were also nailed and hence the learned Tribunal has gone wrong in declining the claim of the appellant. I have heard learned counsel for the appellant and perused the impugned award. The learned Tribunal on the basis of material placed on record has come to the conclusion that the injuries suffered by the appellant were not as FAO No.4770/2008 2 a result of the alleged accident which is stated to have taken place on 14.5.2005 at 10 p.m. because, as per MLR, Exhibit P-20, the appellant was admitted in the Hospital at 6.00 a.m. on 14.5.2005 morning itself. The factum of admission of appellant in Mamta Hospital Gurgaon at 6.00 a.m. on 14.5.2005 was further found to have been corroborated by various x-ray reports dated 14.5.2005. It was further found that Dr.Arvind Mehra, Orthopaedics Surgeon, Mamta Hospital, Gurgaon also deposed that the appellant Dharampal was admitted on 14.5.2005 at 6.00 a.m. and he remained admitted there till 7.6.2005. In view of the facts proved on record, the claim petition filed by the appellant-claimant under Section 163-A has rightly been rejected by the learned Tribunal. No ground to interfere is made out. Dismissed in limine. No costs. 6.3.2009. (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
