PADMANABHAN NAIR ,J. ------------------------------------------------- M.F.A.No.1134 of 2001 ------------------------------------------------- Dated, this the 31st day of October, 2007 JUDGMENT Appellant is the owner of a motor car which sustained damages in an accident. He claimed an amount of Rs.75,000/- as compensation towards the damages sustained to the car. Tribunal after trial found that the appellant is entitled to get Rs.33,481/- as compensation but the liability of the third respondent insurer was limited to Rs.6,000/-. Challenging that award this appeal is filed. Ext.B1 policy produced shows that it was only an Act policy and the liability of the insurer is limited. Quantum of compensation awarded is also reasonable. I do not find any reason to interfere with the award under challenge. No merit in the appeal and it is only to be dismissed. In the result, appeal is dismissed. K. PADMANABHAN NAIR, JUDGE. cks K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, J. M.F.A.No.1134 of 2001 JUDGMENT 31st October, 2007.
