THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO M.A.C.M.A. No. 2945 of 2011 JUDGMENT: The appeal is ﬁled against the order dated 28.09.2004 in O.P.No.2072 of 2001 on the ﬁle of the III Additional Chief Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad questioning the quantum of compensation. A claim was made for compensation of Rs.1,00,000/- by the claimant for the injuries received in a motor accident on 15.09.2001 at about 11.30 a.m. when he was proceeding from Vanasthalipuram, the tractor bearing No.AP 27 B 1208 driven by its driver in a rash and negligent manner and dashed against the petitioner, as a result of which, he suﬀered injuries. The 1st respondent is the owner of the vehicle and the 2nd respondent is the insurance company both are liable for payment of compensation. The 1st respondent remained ex parte and the 2nd respondent disputed the nature of the incident, nature of the injuries and quantum of compensation. The lower Tribunal, after considering the evidence on record, has granted a compensation of Rs.20,000/-. Aggrieved by the said order, the present appeal is filed. 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 is concerned, there is no dispute. As can be seen from the record, the petitioner is said to be in hospital from 15.09.2001 to 26.09.2001. He was said to have been treated in Kamineni hospital. The lower Tribunal found that there is no proof of fracture or any operation. The petitioner is said to have sustained an injury to the right ankle and right leg. The lower Tribunal has taken into consideration the injuries as simple. The lower Tribunal has granted medical expenses of Rs.7,000/- and considered the loss of earnings and also the extra nourishment charges. The lower Tribunal has also granted damages to the scooter at Rs.2,000/-. However, taking into consideration the petitioner was in hospital for about 10 days and the medical expenses appear to be on a lower side and also the damages to the scooter also is considered on a lower side. Considering the scooter repair bills under Exs.A-6 and A-7, the compensation granted by the lower Tribunal is enhanced to Rs.30,000/-. Therefore, the petitioner is entitled to a compensation of Rs.30,000/- (Rupees thirty thousand only). Accordingly, the appeal is partly allowed. No costs. ________________________ N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO, J 23-11-2011 MR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO M.A.C.M.A. No. 2945 of 2011 DATE: 23-11-2011 MR
