THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY C.M.A.No.2617 of 2003 JUDGMENT: This civil miscellaneous appeal is filed against the judgment of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Kurnool, in M.V.O.P.No.99/2000. Petitioner-Claimant is the appellant. 2. Heard. 3. The brief facts are as follows: On 02.12.1999 at about 4.00 p.m. the petitioner was proceeding on a bicycle as pillion rider near old bus stand at Dhone, at that time, the bus bearing No.AP 21U-1143 came in a rash and negligent manner, dashed the bicycle, on account of that he suffered fracture to his left leg and also injuries to other parts of the body. He took treatment at Dhone and spent an amount of Rs.10,000/- for treatment. He claimed compensation of Rs.2.00 lakhs contending that he was aged 35 years and he was a washerman and earning Rs.2000/- per month. 4. First respondent remained exparte and second respondent filed counter denying the allegations of the petition. 5. On the basis of above pleadings, the following issues were framed: 1. Whether the accident occurred on 02.12.1999 at about 4.00p.m. near the old bus stand at Dhone, which resulted in injuries to the petitioner, was on account of the rash and negligent driving of the bus bearing No.AP-21/U.1143 by its driver or whether there was any contributory negligence on the part of the cycle rider in which the petitioner is a pillion rider? 2. Whether the petitioner is entitled for the claimed amount of Rs.2,00,000/-? If not how much and against whom? 3. To what relief? 6. On behalf of the petitioner, the petitioner himself was examined as P.W.1 and the doctor, who treated the petitioner, was examined as P.W.2 and Exs.A1 to A6 were marked. On behalf of the respondents, no oral evidence was adduced, however Ex.B1 copy of policy was marked. Considering the material on record, the court below awarded compensation of Rs.73,794/-. Aggrieved by the same, the present appeal is filed. 7. Now, the point for consideration is, whether the petitioner is entitled for higher compensation? 8. According to the claim petition, the petitioner received fracture to his left leg and multiple injuries all over the body. He spent Rs.10,000/- for treatment. He claimed compensation of Rs.2.00 lakhs. Petitioner filed medical bills for Rs.7,896.75ps pertaining to the years 1999, 2000 and 2001 also, though the accident is of the year 1999. As such, obviously it has to be assumed that some medical bills are incorrect as rightly held by the court below. According to the petitioner, he spent an amount of Rs.10,000/- for treatment, for that, he is sufficiently compensated, he is also awarded compensation for the loss of earnings during the period of treatment, for pain and suffering and other heads. Thus, for one fracture suffered by the petitioner, the compensation of Rs.73,794/- awarded cannot be said to be inadequate. 9. In the circumstances, I see no merits in this appeal and there are no grounds to further enhance the compensation and the appeal is liable to be dismissed. 10. Accordingly, C.M.A. is dismissed. No costs. ______________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J. 30th November 2010, Rns
