THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No.1589 of 2003 ORAL JUDGMENT: Heard. Not satisfied with the quantum of compensation awarded by the Additional District Judge-cum-Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Anantapur, in O.P.No.495 of 1996, by the dated 25.09.2002, wherein and whereby a sum of Rs.60,000/- was awarded as compensation for the injuries sustained by the claimant in a road accident that occurred on 01.03.1996, the claimant has filed the present Civil Miscellaneous Appeal. This is a case where the claimant sustained fracture to his leg, right arm and lost five upper teeth and also received grievous injuries all over the body and was not in a position to attend his day-to-day work. The Tribunal, having gone into the facts and circumstances of the case and relying upon the oral and documentary evidence on record, awarded a sum of Rs.60,000/- as compensation. I am informed that for the victims who sustained injuries in the same accident different amounts were awarded by the Tribunal and all those amounts were trivial in nature and therefore, this Court did not interfere with the same. Hence, a sum of Rs.60,000/-, in my considered view, having regard to the nature of the injuries sustained by the claimant, is a very meager amount and as such, the impugned order passed by the Tribunal does not call for any interference by this Court and accordingly, the appeal is liable to be dismissed. In the result, the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is dismissed without costs. _____________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA 12th August 2010 dr
