HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED CMA No.4088 of 2004 JUDGMENT: The claimant filed this appeal under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act, dissatisfied with the compensation awarded by the Tribunal in MVOP No.1072 of 2001 in its order dated 16-4-2004 for the injuries sustained by him, being minor, represented by his guardian and natural father, in the motor vehicle accident that occurred on 2-4- 2001 involving APSRTC bus bearing registration No.AP 9Z 9116. 2. The facts in nutshell are that on 2-4-2001 at about 3.30 pm., the minor petitioner Daravath Balaji (minor) aged about 16 years, who was a student, was proceeding to his agricultural well from Sarpanch thanda and when the minor claimant reached near Cheruvimidi thanda bus stop, the driver of the APSRTC bus bearing no.AP 9Z 9116 coming from Thorru to Hanumakonda drove the said bus in a rash and negligent manner and hit the bicycle of the claimant, due to the impact of the same, the claimant sustained fracture injuries to his right leg and received other multiple injuries all over his body and the bicycle was also damaged very badly. As on the date of the accident, the claimant was aged 16 years and he passed SSC. Ex.A-6 is the orthopedic handicapped certificate which shows that the claimant sustained 30% permanent disability. 3. The Tribunal considering the evidence of the claimant himself examined as PW-1 and the evidence of the doctor who was examined as PW-2 and issued Ex.A-6 disability certificate, granted total compensation of Rs.38,450/-. Dissatisfied with the quantum of compensation, this appeal is filed by the claimant. 4. Heard the learned counsel for the claimant-appellant. Perused the impugned order passed by the Tribunal. 5. In the instant case, there is no dispute as to the date and nature of accident and the injuries sustained by the claimant. The evidence of PW-2 doctor who treated the claimant is to the effect that the claimant sustained disability to the extent of 30% and it is permanent in nature. The nature of injury as per the evidence of the PW-2 is that the claimant sustained mal-united fracture of right tibia with shortening of right lower limb about one inch. Admittedly, the claimant is a boy of 16 years as on the date of the accident and due to the accident he might have suffered enormous of pain, agony and sufferance. The disability caused due to the accused will certainly affect his future prospects and, therefore considering all these aspects of the matter, this Court is of the view that the claimant is entitled to a sum of Rs.30,000/- towards pain and suffering, Rs.30,000/- towards permanent disability sustained by him, Rs.30,000/- towards future loss of earnings and Rs.10,000/- towards medical expenses and extra nourishment including the amounts towards transportation and damage to the cycle, totalling to Rs.1,00,000/- with interest at 7.5% per annum from the date of petition till the date of payment. 6. In the result, the appeal is allowed enhancing the compensation from Rs.38,450/- to Rs.1,00,000/-. No costs. ________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J Dated: 27-1-2011 Nrg.
