THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No. 2962 of 1999 ORAL JUDGMENT: Heard. 2. Aggrieved by the order and decree, dated 28.02.1997, passed by the District Judge-cum-Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Cuddapah (for brevity “the Tribunal”), in O.P.No.286 of 1993, awarding a sum of Rs.22,000/- towards compensation for the injuries sustained by the petitioner therein, in a road accident that occurred on 20.01.1993, the appellant-New India Assurance Company Limited has filed the present Civil Miscellaneous Appeal. 3. The amount awarded by the Tribunal is only a meagre sum of Rs.22,000/-. Notwithstanding the legal propositions that are being urged before this Court by the learned Standing Counsel for the appellant, I deem it wholly inappropriate to interfere with the said marginal amount awarded by the Tribunal, in the interest of justice. 4. It has been further brought to the notice of this Court that this matter is arising out of a batch, the particulars of the amounts claimed and awarded in the other batch of appeals are not known. However, having regard to the present facts and circumstances of the case on hand and in view of the meagre amount awarded, I do not feel it expedient to interfere with the impugned award, passed by the Tribunal. The Tribunal has elaborately considered all the aspects while granting the compensation. 5. For the foregoing the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is liable to be dismissed and is accordingly dismissed. However, there shall be no order as to costs. 6. It is made clear that it is only on the ground of triviality the present appeal is dismissed but not on any other ground and this order shall not have any value of precedence. _____________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA 15th July 2010 dr
