NO. 1310 OF 2006 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 26th day of May, 2008. J U D G M E N T This appeal is preferred against the award of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Ernakulam in O.P.(MV)2578/98 whereby the Tribunal has awarded a total compensation of Rs.62,500/- and directed the insurance company to pay the amount with 9% interest. I had perused the award. It would show that the appellant sustained a laceration on the forehead and a fracture of the shaft of the right femur where interlocking was done and he was inpatient in the hospital for 10 days. It is also stated that there is nothing to show that there is any disability. The Tribunal awarded Rs.25,000/- towards treatment expenses, Rs.20,000/- towards pain and sufferings. Rs.10,000/- is awarded towards loss of amenities and enjoyment in life and also compensated adequately for loss of earning, transport to hospital, extra nourishment and attendant expenses. By any stretch of imagination one cannot hold that it is not just and reasonable compensation M.A.C.A. 1310 OF 2006 -:2:- as provided under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act. Therefore the appeal lacks merit and it is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
