FAO No. 1037 of 2010 -1- In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh FAO No. 1037 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision : 26.5.2010 Parveen Kumar ... Appellant vs Rajesh and others .... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Pankaj Mehta, Advocate, for the appellant. Rajesh Bindal J. Challenge in the present appeal is to the award of the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Hisar (hereinafter to be referred as “the Tribunal”). The brief facts of the case are that on the intervening night of 7/8.5.2007, the appellant, his wife and son were coming from Delhi to Hisar in Qualis bearing registration no. HR-39A-2705. Respondent no. 1 Rajesh was driving the Qualis in a rash and negligent manner, despite being told by the appellant to drive it carefully. At about 1.30 a.m., when they reached in the area of Village Dhana near wine shop, due to rash and negligent driving, the driver lost his control over the vehicle and it turned turtle and fell in the pits near the road. The appellant and his family members received multiple injuries and were shifted to N. C. Jindal Institute of Medical Care and Research, Hisar. FIR No. 103 dated 11.5.2007 was lodged with the Police Station, Sadar, Hansi. All the injured filed claim petitions which were allowed and the appellant was granted Rs. 4,070/- as compensation. However, dissatisfied with the award, he filed the present appeal for enhancement. Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the appellant has spent more than Rs. 1,30,000/- on his treatment, special diet, transportation, etc. but the learned Tribunal granted meager amount as compensation. The submission was that compensation payable to the appellant be enhanced. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the paper-book. A perusal of the impugned award shows that the appellant has produced in evidence medical bills, Ex. P13 to Ex. P23 in support of his claim. The learned Tribunal on the basis of evidence produced by the appellant, had granted a sum of Rs. 2070/- as the expenses incurred by him on his medical treatment. It is also not the case of the appellant that the medical bills produced by FAO No. 1037 of 2010 -2- him were not considered. Further a sum of Rs. 2,000/- was granted for the pain and suffering undergone by him. Therefore, in the absence of any documentary evidence in support of his claim, the learned Tribunal has rightly assessed the compensation. In view of the above, the present appeal is dismissed being without any merit. 26.5.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
