He sustained injuries in a motor vehicle accident. He filed a petition for compensation against the owner , driver and insurer of the vehicle. He claimed an amount of Rs. 100,000/- The Tribunal awarded a compensation of Rs. 22,325/- with 12% interest thereon from the date of petition till realisation . The only challenge in the appeal is regarding the inadequacy of the compensation awarded. The evidence on record shows that the petitioner sustained communited fracture of the femur tibia and fibula and other fleshing injuries. The Tribunal after considering all aspects awarded an amount of Rs. 22,325/- under different heads. The compensation awarded is reasonable and the quantum of compensation awarded does not require any interference. So there is no merit in the appeal and the same is only to be dismissed. In the result the appeal is dismissed. K.PADMANABHAN NAIR,JUDGE es
