THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO M.A.C.M.A. No. 3128 of 2011 JUDGMENT: The appeal is filed against the order dated 23.11.2004 in O.P.No.728 of 2001 on the file of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal- cum-IV Additional District Judge (Fast Track Court), Ranga Reddy District at L.B.Nagar questioning the quantum of compensation. The petitioner is said to be a student and a minor and is said to have received injuries in a motor accident on 18.05.1999 at about 10.00 a.m. when he was going on a Luna Moped bearing No.AP 98 3918, a lorry bearing No. AP 12 T 6347 came in a rash and negligent manner and hit the Moped, as a result of which, the petitioner sustained multiple injuries and spent money for treatment. The 1st respondent remained ex parte and the 2nd respondent filed counter denying the claim of the petitioner, nature of accident, nature of injuries and its liability. After considering the evidence on record, the lower Tribunal came to the conclusion that the incident was due to the fault of the driver of the lorry as claimed but considering the material on record granted a sum of Rs.6,000/- only as the compensation. The point for consideration is whether the quantum of compensation granted by the lower Tribunal is just and reasonable? POINT: So far as the nature of the incident and the insurance of the vehicle is concerned, there is no dispute. So far as the injuries are concerned, according to the case of the petitioner, he sustained fracture to his right leg and was treated at Church Hospital, Erragadda as inpatient for a period of one month and operated. The petitioner also filed Ex.A-3 medico legal record of Osmania General Hospital, which discloses that there was swelling and tenderness over the right thigh and opinion of the injury was not given and though Ex.A-4 x-ray films were filed, the report was not filed. Ex.A-3 clearly discloses that the petitioner was referred to radiologist for x-ray of right thigh. Therefore, from the material available on record Exs.A-3 and A-4, the treatment at Osmania General Hospital has been proved and the x-rays disclose some fractures. Therefore, the failure to file the medico legal record of Church Hospital, Erragadda is not fatal. Taking into consideration the above facts, I feel that the compensation of Rs.6,000/-, which is granted to the minor, is too meagre and I feel the ends of justice would meet, if a compensation of Rs.25,000/- is granted on all counts. Therefore, an amount of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand only) is granted to the petitioner as compensation. Accordingly, the appeal is partly allowed. No costs. ________________________ N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO, J 30-11-2011 MR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO M.A.C.M.A. No. 3128 of 2011 DATE: 30-11-2011 MR
