S.B. Civil Misc. Appeal No.2679/2004 Mohar Singh VS. Shri Ashok Kumar and ors. Dated : 26.07.2010 HON'BLE MR. MAHESH BHAGWATI,J. Mr. KN Tiwari, for the appellant. Mr. Rajpaal Choudhary for respondent No.3-Insurance Co. *** Dissatisfied with the amount of compensation, the appellant ha preferred this appeal for its enhancement. 2. In this case an accident took place on 6th December, 2000 when the appellant claimant was going with his wife in a Riksha towards JDA Circle. No sooner did the Riksha reach near Bidla Temple at 9.15, one Maruti Car bearing registration No.RJ-14-C-9918 driven by its driver rashly and negligently suddenly appeared from the back and hit Riksha as a result of which both the appellant and his wife Smt. Leela sustained injuries. The appellant and his wife filed separate claim petition before the learned Tribunal. The learned Tribunal decreed an amount of Rs.9,000/- in favour of the appellant-claimant and against the respondents. 3. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and carefully perused the impugned award, it is noticed that the appellant Mohar Singh sustained simple injuries in the said accident and the learned Tribunal having considered the nature of the injuries, physical pain and -2- trauma suffered by the appellant rightly awarded an amount of Rs.9,000/- as compensation to him. From no stretch of imagination, the amount of compensation under the facts and circumstances of the case, can be said to be abysmally low. The impugned award is just and apt which warrants no intervention and the appeal being devoid of any substance deserves to be dismissed. 4. In view of the above, the appeal being devoid of any merit stands dismissed accordingly. 5. No order as to costs. (MAHESH BHAGWATI)J. Pcg
