NO. 680 OF 2010 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 22nd day of October, 2010. J U D G M E N T This appeal is preferred against the award of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Kozhikode in O.P.(MV) 915/06. The claimant, a minor boy aged 6 years sustained injuries in a road accident and the Tribunal awarded a compensation of Rs.21,983/-. It is against that decision the claimant has come up in appeal. 2. The boy aged six years had sustained a fracture on both bones of the left leg with multiple injuries all over the body. He had been treated as an inpatient for 4 days in the hospital and thereafter had continued out patient treatment. Considering the nature of the injury, age of the boy and the inconveniences and loss of amenities caused to him I am inclined to grant an additional compensation of Rs.5,000/- and therefore the claimant is awarded an additional compensation to that extend. M.A.C.A. 680 OF 2010 -:2:- In the result the MACA is partly allowed and the claimant is awarded an additional compensation of Rs.5,000/- with 7% interest on the said sum from the date of petition till realisation and the insurance company is directed to deposit the same within a period of sixty days from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment.
