NO. 2524 OF 2008 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 20th day of November, 2008. J U D G M E N T This appeal is preferred against the award of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Manjeri in O.P.(MV)286/04. The claimant, a 44 year old man, running a workshop, sustained injuries in a road accident. It can be seen that the injury sustained by him are abrasions on the scapular region and contusion low back. He was inpatient in the hospital for six days. For this the Tribunal has awarded a total compensation of Rs.10,250. Considering the nature of injury sustained and the compensation awarded it appears to be only just and reasonable. The Tribunal has awarded a reasonable compensation and has allowed the entire medical bills and had granted Rs.3,000/- for pain and sufferings and Rs.2,500/- towards loss of earnings. I feel the compensation awarded is just and adequate. Therefore the appeal lacks merit and it is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
