No. 145 OF 2007 --------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of August, 2008 JUDGMENT This appeal is preferred against the award passed by the Principal Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Kozhikode, in OP(MV) 154/99. The claimant, aged 28 years, sustained injuries in a road accident. The injury sustained by him is laceration of 5x5 cms on the lower lip and the Tribunal awarded him a compensation of Rs.6,000/-. Aggrieved by that decision, the claimant has come up in appeal. 2. Learned counsel for the appellant has made available before me the documents for perusal. I had perused the same. He was examined on 29.10.08. X-ray was taken. X-ray revealed that he did not have any fracture of the tooth. Suturing was also done. He was asked to review. The treatment records made available does not show any further complication. Therefore, I feel that the compensation awarded be the Tribunal is just and reasonable, which does not call for any interference. No other grounds are made out to interfere with the award. The appeal lacks merit and it is accordingly dismissed. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE vps MACA No. 145/07 2
