THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.S.APPA RAO C.M.A.No.2818 of 2003 JUDGMENT: Being aggrieved by the judgment and decree dated 20.04.2002 in O.P.No.450 of 1999 on the file of the Chairman, Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal-cum- Principal District Judge, Nalgonda, the present appeal is preferred. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the Tribunal erroneously granted compensation without taking into consideration the gravity of the injuries and the grant of compensation in the Tribunal is very meagre and not sustainable. Now the point for consideration is whether the grant of compensation by the lower Tribunal is sustainable. P.W.1 is the injured. He filed documents Exs.A.1 to A.7. As seen from the injury certificate Ex.A.2, he sustained 1) a lacerated injury of 2” x ¼” x ¼” on occipital region , 2) swelling of right thigh in the middle (# of femur). Case referred to Osmania General Hospital, Hyderabad for treatment. In the aforesaid wound certificate, there is suspected fracture of femur at right thigh in the middle. The charge sheet was also filed for the offence under Section 337 and 338 IPC. The petitioner though stated in his evidence that he sustained grievous injury except the wound certificate Ex.A.2 no doctors were examined in proof of the injury sustained by him. However, while taking into consideration the documentary evidence Exs.A.1 and A.2 and Ex.A.3 xerox copy of charge sheet, it can be safely arrived that the injury sustained by PW.1 is grievous in nature. Lower Tribunal granted Rs.5,000/- towards the injuries by observing that the injury sustained by PW.1 is only simple in nature. Having regard to the facts and circumstances as stated supra, ie., Ex.A.3 charge sheet, I am of the view that further granting of Rs.3,000/- towards the grievous injury besides granting of Rs.2,000/- towards medicines and treatment is just and necessary. Accordingly, the compensation of amount awarded by the Tribunal is enhanced from Rs.5,000/- to Rs.10,000/-. With this modification, the appeal is allowed. K.S.APPA RAO,J 3rd March, 2011 PNV
