THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO C.M.A.No.915 of 2001 Date:02.03.2010 Between: Thammavarapu Ramakrishna …Appellant And Ravi Mohan Reddy and another ….Respondents THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO C.M.A.No.915 of 2001 JUDGMENT: This appeal is filed against the order dated 30.11.2000 passed by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal-cum-I Additional District Judge, at Nalgonda in O.P.No.430 of 1997. 2. The injured-claimant is the appellant herein. He filed the present appeal seeking enhancement of compensation in respect of the accident occurred on 14.02.1996 wherein the vehicle bearing No. AP-28-T-6118 was involved. The appellant filed claim petition before the Tribunal below seeking compensation of Rs.1,00,000/-. After enquiry, the learned Tribunal, awarded compensation of Rs.15,500/- with interest at 12% per annum from the date of the petition till realization. Contending that the amount awarded by the Tribunal is very low, the appellant preferred this appeal seeking enhancement of compensation. 3. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the appellant and the learned counsel appearing for the 2nd respondent- insurance company. 4. Ex.A-2 wound certificate relating to the appellant was marked by consent before the Tribunal below which indicates five simple injuries and two grievous injuries. The learned Tribunal granted Rs.1,000/- each for five simple injuries and Rs.2,500/- each for two grievous injurieswhich in the opinion of this Court is not just and reasonable. For the five simple injuries sustained by the appellant, an amount of Rs.15,000/- (Rs.3,000/- x 5 = Rs.15,000/-) and for two grievous injuries sustained by the appellant, an amount of Rs.30,000/- (Rs.15,000/- x 2 = Rs.30,000/-) can be granted. This apart, an amount of Rs.20,000/- can be granted towards pain and suffering. An amount of Rs.3,500/- towards medical expenses and Rs.1,000/- towards transport charges granted by the learned Tribunal below being reasonable, are confirmed in this appeal. In all, the appellant is entitled for compensation of Rs.69,500/-. The enhancement, therefore, would be Rs.54,000/- (Rs.69,500/- minus Rs.15,500/-). 5. In the result, the appeal is partly allowed enhancing the compensation from Rs.15,500/- to Rs.69,500/-. The enhanced amount of compensation of Rs.54,000/- shall carry interest @ 6% per annum from the date of petition till the date of realization. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ R.
