uks M.A.C.A. No.770 of 2005 14. 17.12.2013 Heard learned counsel for the parties. This appeal by the claimant is directed against the judgment/award dated 27.04.2005, passed by the Third Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Puri, in M.A.C. No.275/14 of 1989, awarding an amount of Rs.6,000/- as compensation along with interest @9% per annum from 07.07.2001 till its realization. The claimant seeks enhancement of the compensation amount. Considering the grounds taken in the appeal and the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the findings of the learned Tribunal as given in the impugned award with regard to the quantum of compensation amount awarded and the basis on which the same has been arrived at, I feel, the interest of justice would be best served if the awarded compensation amount of Rs.6,000/- is enhanced to Rs.15,000/-. The claimant is also entitled to interest on the enhance compensation amount of Rs.15,000/- @ 6% per annum with effect from 07.07.2001.

The Insurance Company-respondent no.2 is directed to deposit the enhanced compensation amount of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees fifteen thousand) along with interest @6% per annum w.e.f. 07.07.2001, with the learned Tribunal within six weeks hence.
