THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY M.A.C.M.A.No.770 OF 2008 JUDGMENT: This appeal is directed against the order, dated 23-07-2007, in O.P.No.1328 of 2002 on the file of the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal-cum-V Additional District Judge (FTC), Nizamabad, wherein the claim of the appellant was allowed in part, awarding compensation of Rs.18,418/- with interest @ 7.5% p.a. from the date of petition. 2. None appeared for the appellant and no representation is made on 14.09.2011 and also today i.e. 15.09.2011 though the matter is posted under the caption ‘ for dismissal’. Heard learned counsel for the respondents. Perused the record. 3. Appellant filed the claim application under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, seeking compensation of Rs.3,00,000/- for the injuries sustained by him in a motor vehicle accident that occurred on 01.05.2002. According to the appellant, on that day, when he went to the bus station, Hyderabad to go to Nizamabad, a bus bearing No.MH-20-D-3954, belonging to the respondent, dashed against him due to the rash and negligent driving by its driver resulting in head injury and multiple injuries to the claimant and that he was shifted to Osmania General hospital where he was inpatient from 11.05.2002 to 12.06.2002. Respondents filed a counter opposing the claim and denying their liability to pay compensation. 4. During enquiry, P.Ws.1 and 2 were examined and Exs.A1 to A12 were marked on behalf of the appellant. No oral or documentary evidence was adduced by the respondents. 5. On a consideration of the evidence available on record, the Tribunal awarded total compensation of Rs.18,418/- with interest @ 7.5% p.a. Not satisfied with the same, appellant filed the present claim application, seeking enhancement. According to the appellant, he sustained head injury and multiple injuries and he underwent treatment at Osmania General hospital. The medical evidence on record does not disclose that the appellant sustained any fracture or any other grievous injury. He has not examined the concerned doctors of the Osmania General hospital, who treated him. 6. D.W.2, who was also a doctor of the Osmania General hospital admitted that he has not treated the appellant and as per the case sheet, appellant did not undergo any surgery. The Tribunal on a consideration of the evidence on record, awarded for Rs.9418/- towards medical expenses, which are covered by the medical bills-Ex.A9; Rs.6000/- towards pain and suffering and Rs.3000/- towards loss of past earnings, which are all considered to be reasonable. As the injuries are not shown to be grievous nor there is any physical disability resulting from the accident, claimant is not entitled for any compensation in that regard. Having regard to the nature of the injuries sustained, the amount of compensation awarded by the Tribunal is considered to be just and reasonable. The impugned order does not therefore call for any interference. 7. In the result, appeal is dismissed. _______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 15th September, 2011 Tsy
