THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.S.APPA RAO CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL NO. 3682 OF 2003 JUDGMENT: Aggrieved against the order and decree dated 21.03.2003 in O.P.No.733 of 1998 passed by the V Additional Special Judge For SPE & ACB Cases-cum-V Additional Chief Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, the appellant filed the present appeal. The appellant herein is the petitioner/claimant in O.P.No.733 of 1998. He filed the petition claiming compensation of Rs.2,00,000/- for the injuries sustained by him in the road traffic accident on 19.04.1998. The Court below while considering the evidence adduced by the petitioner, awarded compensation of Rs.15,000/-. Aggrieved by the same, the present Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is filed mainly on the ground that the award of compensation granted by the Court below is very meagre. Now the point for consideration is whether the appellant/ petitioner is entitled for enhancement of compensation. The petitioner while examining himself as P.W.1 marked Ex.A.1 and A.2. Ex.A.1 is the First Information Report and Ex.A.2 is the charge sheet. A perusal of the above said documents, it is clear that the petitioner sustained injuries in a road traffic accident. The learned counsel appearing for the second respondent mainly contended that the genuineness of the petition is to be taken into consideration pursuant to the observations of the Court below. Admittedly, the petitioner is a Police Constable. According to him, on 19.04.1998 at about 5.20 p.m. while he was crossing the road near National Police Academy Campus quarters at Arabic School, Shivarampally, an Ambassador Car Bearing No.AP 21 C 8006 coming from Hyderabad side driven by its driver in a rash and negligent manner and with high speed, dashed him as a result of which, he fell down and sustained fractures to both his legs and he was shifted to nearby National Police Academy Hospital and from there to Osmania General Hospital. On the basis of the statement recorded by ASI of Rajendranagar Police Station, from the petitioner, a case in Crime No.151 of 1998 under Section 337 IPC was registered against the driver of the said car. In this case, though the petitioner claimed that he has sustained permanent disability as stated so in his chief examination, in the cross- examination he admitted to be true that he has no walking problem and presently working in Jodhpur of Rajasthan State as a constable at the boarder and that he is attending to duty regularly. He further deposed that he is having difficulty in standing for more than one hour. The Court below well discussed the evidence of P.W.1 and came to the conclusion that the alleged injuries sustained by P.W.1 are well healed and he backed to his normal position. On a perusal of the impugned order, it is clear that the Court below in detail discussed the conduct of the petitioner in making false claim in the petition. The petitioner being a Police Constable went to an extent of filing of false documents without any authenticated proof much less with so many interpolations and corrections. The finding of the Court below about the conduct of P.W.1 in making false claim, in my view is very much apt. In the circumstances of the case on hand, however, the Court below granted an amount of Rs.15,000/- towards injuries including pain and suffering and extra nourishment. Accordingly, Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is dismissed. ______________ K.S.APPA RAO,J 1st April 2011 bud
