Appeal No.1708/2002 {Manmohan Versus Shri Sitaram & Others} Date of Order :: 17th November, 2008 PRESENT HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NARENDRA KUMAR JAIN Mr. Shobhit Tiwari for the appellant Mr. Ravindra Pal Singh for the respondents BY THE COURT: Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. Admit. The contesting respondents are represented by their counsel. 3. With the consent of learned counsel for both the parties, the appeal was heard finally and is being disposed of. 4. The injured-appellant has preferred this appeal for enhancement of the amount of compensation in respect of injury sustained by him in a motor accident, which took place on 19th September, 2000 and being aggrieved with the impugned award dated 15th June, 2002 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Jaipur City, Jaipur, whereby the learned Tribunal has awarded total compensation of Rs. 28,000/- in his favour with interest @ 9% per annum with effect from the date of claim application i.e. 2 19th January, 2001 till the date of payment. 5. The learned counsel for the appellant contended that the amount of compensation awarded in the present case is inadequate, therefore, the same may be reasonably enhanced. 6. The learned counsel for the respondents contended that looking to the nature of injuries, the amount of compensation awarded by the Tribunal cannot be said to be inadequate and it is just and reasonable and no interference in it is called for. 7. I have considered the submissions of learned counsel for both the parties and examined the impugned award as well as the record of the Tribunal. 8. The learned Tribunal while considering the issue no.4 relating to quantum of compensation observed that as per injury report Ex.-12, the appellant sustained two injuries and as per x-ray report Ex.-8, one injury on teeth was found to be grievous in nature. As per permanent disability certificate Ex.-P-1, the appellant sustained 3% permanent disability in the tooth. The learned Tribunal has awarded total compensation of Rs. 28,000/-. The Tribunal is required to pass an award under Section 168 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, 3 which appears to be just and reasonable. 9. After considering all the facts and circumstances of the case, I find that the amount of compensation awarded in the present case is just and reasonable and cannot be said to be inadequate, as contended by learned counsel for the appellant. 10. In view of above discussions, I do not find any force in this appeal and the same is, accordingly, dismissed with no order as to costs. (NARENDRA KUMAR JAIN),J. DK
