J U D G M E N T This appeal is preferred against the award of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Thodupuzha in O.P.(MV)294/00. The claimant sustained injuries in the form of a lacerated wound on the elbow with haematoma. He was inpatient in the hospital for five days. Radiological examination revealed no bony injury. Taking into consideration the entire matter the Tribunal has awarded a sum of Rs.6,000/- in lump sum as the compensation. For a lacerated wound and for five days inpatient treatment the Tribunal has awarded a just and reasonable compensation and therefore the award requires no interference by this Court. Hence the appeal fails and the same is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
