HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO M.A.C.M.A.No.2178 OF 2011 JUDGMENT: The appeal is filed by the appellant/petitioner against the order in O.P.No.278 of 2001 on the file of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal- cum-II Additional District Judge at Warangal, where-under for the injuries said to have been received by the petitioner in a motor accident, a claim for Rs.1,50,000/- was made, the Tribunal granted a sum of Rs.30,000/-. 2. According to the case of the petitioner, on 23.08.1998 when the petitioner was travelling in a lorry bearing No.AP 16 V 7957 as a Cleaner, another lorry came in the opposite direction in a rash and negligent manner, due to which the driver of the lorry, in which the petitioner was travelling, lost control and the lorry turned turtle and as a result of which, the petitioner received injuries. The 1st respondent remained ex parte and respondents Nos.2 and 3 filed a counter, denying the liability and also pleading that the Insurance Company is not liable to pay the amount as the driver of the lorry was not having valid driving licence at the time of the incident. The lower Tribunal after considering the evidence on record, held that the incident was due to the fault of the driver of the lorry, in which the petitioner was travelling. The petitioner claimed that he received multiple injuries and was treated in M.G.M. Hospital, Warangal from 25.08.1998 to 29.09.1998 and he also underwent surgery and PW.2, who treated the petitioner, supported the version of the petitioner with regard to the above facts. Taking into consideration the nature of the injuries and the treatment, opinion of PW.2 that there was some permanent disability, the lower Tribunal has granted a compensation of Rs.10,000/- towards pain and suffering, Rs.8,000/- towards permanent disability, Rs.2,000/- towards transport charges, Rs.5,000/- towards medical expenses and Rs.5,000/- towards loss of earnings. The contention of the appellant that no disability claim was considered is not correct since loss of earnings were also determined and a sum of Rs.8,000/- was granted as amount towards the permanent disability as claimed by the petitioner. I do not find any merits in the compensation determined by the lower Tribunal and the hence appeal is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, M.A.C.M.A. is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________________ JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO Date:21.09.2011 INL
