J U D G M E N T This appeal is preferred against the award of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Irinjalakuda in O.P.(MV)1231/04. I had perused the award. The injuries sustained are a fracture on the clavicle with a lacerated wound on the forehead. The Tribunal has considered the matter and awarded a compensation of Rs.18,900/- with 7% interest. It has awarded Rs.4,000/- towards loss of earnings, Rs.10,000/- towards pain and sufferings, Rs.3,000/- towards loss of amenities and it has also granted actual medical expenses and other expenses as well. Considering the nature of injury and the treatment undergone the compensation appears to be only just and reasonable. Therefore the appeal is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
