HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO M.A.C.M.A.No.1727 OF 2011 JUDGMENT: The appeal is filed against the order in M.V.O.P.No.1133 of 2000 on the file of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal-cum-District Court, Visakhapatnam, questioning the quantum of compensation. The petitioner in the above O.P., is the appellant herein. 2. The appellant is said to have been received injuries on 14.01.2000 at about 6.30 P.M., when she was sitting on the steps of Ramalayam, the auto bearing No.AP 31 V 2901, which was driven by the 1st respondent in a rash and negligent manner, dashed against her, as a result of which she received injuries and was treated in hospital. The 2nd respondent is the owner of the vehicle and 3rd respondent is insurance company. Respondents 1 and 2 remained ex parte and the 3rd respondent filed a counter putting the petitioner to strict proof of the rashness and negligence of the driver of the vehicle and also the nature of the injuries and the expenditure incurred by her. The lower Tribunal after considering the evidence on record, found the incident was due to the fault of the driver of the auto. But, however, granted a compensation of Rs.40,000/-. 3. As can be seen from the award of the lower Tribunal, Ex.A.4 is the Xerox copy of the wound certificate, which shows that there was a deep wound of right leg from middle of leg to the ankle and the X-ray showed multiple fractures. The petitioner claimed that she has spent Rs.10,000/- for medical expenses. The lower Tribunal taking into consideration the totality of the circumstances, granted a compensation of Rs.40,000/-. 4. The learned counsel for the appellant contends that the lumpsum compensation granted by the lower Tribunal is not proper and she was in hospital for a longer time and she was a servant-maid and she lost earnings. Taking into consideration the above plea of the appellant, I feel the ends of justice would meet if a compensation of Rs.60,000/- is granted. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed in part. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO, J Date: 18.08.2011 INL
