THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No. 530 of 2002 JUDGMENT: This appeal is filed by the appellant-petitioner against the order dated 19.12.2001 passed by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal-cum-III Additional District Judge at Kurnool in M.V.O.P.No.939 of 2000, seeking enhancement of the compensation. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the appellant and the learned counsel appearing for the 2nd respondent-Insurance Company. None appears for the 1st respondent-owner. In the claim petition filed by the appellant, who is said to be the injured in the motor vehicle accident occurred on 02.07.1999, as against the claim of Rs.1,00,000/-, the Tribunal below granted compensation of Rs.10,000/-. The only question requires to be determined in this appeal is whether the compensation granted by the Tribunal below is just and reasonable? Having noticed that the appellant sustained fracture of right hand as per Ex.A.3 certified copy of wound certificate of the petitioner, the Tribunal below granted an amount of Rs.5,000/- towards compensation for one grievous injury. The said amount being grossly inadequate is enhanced to Rs.20,000/- in this appeal. The compensation of Rs.3,000/- granted for three simple injuries sustained by the petitioner is also very low, and hence, the same is enhanced to Rs.9,000/-. Similarly, the compensation of Rs.1,000/- granted towards pain and suffering is also very low, and therefore, the same is enhanced to Rs.10,000/-. The compensation of Rs.1,000/- granted by the Tribunal below towards medical expenses and extra nourishment is not interfered with in this appeal, in view of the fact that there is no documentary proof placed by the appellant. Now, in all the appellant is entitled to Rs.40,000/- as compensation which in the opinion of this Court is just and reasonable. The enhanced compensation of Rs.30,000/- shall bear interest @ 6% p.a. from the date of petition till the date of realization. In the result, the civil miscellaneous appeal is allowed in part. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________​_ R. KANTHA RAO, J 27th November, 2009 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO C.M.A.No. 530 of 2002 (Allowed in part) 27th November, 2009 CBS
