J U D G M E N T This appeal is preferred against the award of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Tirur in O.P.(MV)773/05. The claimant sustained injuries in a road accident. He had a fracture on the right frontal bone, fracture of the right maxilla besides other lacerated injuries. He was treated as an inpatient in the hospital from 30.4.05 to 9.5.05. The medical bills incurred approximately come to Rs.25,000/-. The claimant produced a disability certificate of 30% for the reason that he was suffering from optic atrophy and there is a permanent visual disability of 30%. The Tribunal considering the fact that the injured a young man accepted the disability as such, took the notional income at Rs.15,000/- and applied a proper multiplier of 16 awarded Rs.72,000/- for permanent disability compensation and also Rs.8,000/- for loss of amenities and enjoyment in life. The Tribunal adequately compensated him Rs.15,000/- for pain M.A.C.A. 1536 OF 2007 -:2:- and sufferings. A reading of the award would show that the Tribunal has been considerate and had been just and reasonable to award a proper compensation to the claimant in the case. Therefore, I do not find any ground to interfere with the decision rendered by the Tribunal and hence the MACA is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
