No. 748 OF 2003 --------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of June, 2008 JUDGMENT This appeal is preferred against the award passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Kottayam, in OP(MV) 2727/94. The appellant had sustained fracture on head of the radius in a road accident. He was on POP cast for three weeks and thereafter advised gradual mobilisation after two weeks. No other documents were produced. The Tribunal found that the injury has prevented him from doing work for a period of five to six weeks and awarded Rs.7,500/- for pain and suffering, Rs.1,000/- for treatment expenses, Rs.1,000/- for bystanders expenses and Rs.3,000/- for loss of earnings. With the available materials the Tribunal has awarded a just and reasonable compensation which does not call for any interference by this court. The MACA lacks merit and it is accordingly dismissed.
