HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No.1498 OF 2002 JUDGMENT: Being dissatisfied with the quantum of compensation, claimant filed this Civil Miscellaneous Appeal against the order in O.P. No.155 of 1999 dated 08-03-2001 passed by the learned Chairman, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal – cum – IV Additional District Judge, Tirupathi, whereby compensation of Rs.8,000/- was awarded to the claimant as against his claim of Rs.70,000/-. 2. Heard Sri A. Bhaskara Chari, learned counsel appearing for the claimant, and Sri R. Venkat Rao, learned counsel appearing for M/s. Oriental Insurance Company Limited – respondent No.2, and perused the impugned award and other material made available on record. 3. It is a case of injuries. The accident in question took place in July, 1998. According to the medical certificate, claimant suffered 2½ C.Ms. laceration on the back of the head and tenderness on the shoulder. Both the injuries are simple one. The medical officer, who treated the claimant, is not examined. The compensation awarded by the Tribunal for the two simple injuries sustained by the claimant is Rs.8,000/- in 2002 for the accident that occurred in 1998. 4. In the circumstances, compensation of Rs.8,000/- awarded to the claimant cannot be said to be inappropriate in view of the fact that he sustained only two simple injuries, as such, I see no merits to entertain this appeal. 5. Therefore, the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs in this appeal. __________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J July 6, 2010. PV
