SRI.RAJAN P.KALIYATH FOR R3 THIS MOTOR ACCIDENT CLAIMS APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN, J. -------------------------- M.A.C.A. No. 2028 OF 2007 --------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of September, 2008 JUDGMENT This appeal is preferred against the award passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Irinjalakuda, in OP(MV) 1768/00. The claimant, aged 19 years, sustained injuries in a road accident. He had suffered abrasions over left hand and on the left thigh. There is nothing to show that he had been treated as inpatient in the hospital and to prove that he had spent any amount for treatment. Taking into consideration the fact that he has been involved in an accident and that he would have suffered some pain, the Tribunal had granted a reasonable compensation of Rs.2,500/-. I do not find any ground to interfere with the justness and reasonableness of the said decision. The appeal lacks merit and it is accordingly dismissed. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE vps
