THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY M.A.C.M.A.No.864 2008 JUDGMENT: This appeal is directed against the order, dated 01.11.2007, in O.P.No.1926 of 2003 on the file of the learned Chairman, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal-cum- III Additional District Judge (FTC), Nizamabad, wherein the said claim application filed by the appellant herein under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, for compensation, was allowed in part awarding a sum of Rs.11,200/- along with interest @ 7.5% p.a. from the date of the petition. 2. Heard both sides. Perused the record. 3. Appellant herein filed the application seeking compensation of Rs.2,00,000/- for the injuries sustained by him in a motor vehicle accident that occurred on 27.02.2003. As per the medical evidence on record, particularly, the wound certificate-Ex.A3 and case sheet- Ex.A2, the claimant sustained only three injuries, a contusion and two abrasions, which are all described as simple. Ex.A2-case sheet shows that the claimant did not sustain any bone injury. The claim of the appellant that he suffered fracture therefore remains unsubstantiated. He has not examined any doctor, who treated him either at Government hospital, Nizamabad or at Gandhi hospital, Secunderabad. As the wound certificate-Ex.A3 coupled with Ex.A2 show that the claimant sustained only three simple injuries, he is entitled for a sum of Rs.3000/- as compensation for pain and suffering. He claims to be inpatient in the hospital for five days and the same is borne out by Ex.A2. The Tribunal therefore awarded a sum of Rs.500/- towards extra nourishment. He has not produced any medical bills though he claims to have spent Rs.,1,50,000/- for treatment of the three simple injuries. The Tribunal however awarded a sum of Rs.1500/- towards medical expenses. The Tribunal also awarded a sum of Rs.700/- towards loss of earnings for a period of fifteen days. However the Tribunal awarded Rs.2500/- for each injury. Thus the total amount of Rs.11,200/- awarded by the Tribunal for the three simple injuries, one contusion and two abrasions sustained by the claimant, is considered to be just and reasonable and the same does not warrant any interference. There are absolutely no merits in the appeal. 4. In the result, appeal is dismissed _______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 24th October, 2011 Tsy
