NO. 1407 OF 2007 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 1st day of September, 2008. 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)2040/01. The claimant, a lady, sustained injuries in a road accident and the Tribunal has referred to the photocopy of the reference card. A perusal of the award would reveal that the Tribunal was not very happy with the documents relied upon by the claimant. She even suspected correction in the document produced in this case but awarded a compensation of Rs.30,890/-. Even she had taken into consideration the long period of hospitalization. The Medical Bills produced were accepted in toto and awarded the compensation. Therefore the Tribunal has granted just and reasonable compensation u/s 166 of the M.V.Act. Hence the appeal lacks merit and it is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
