THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO M.A.C.M.A. No. 1911 of 2011 JUDGMENT: The appeal is filed against the order dated 29.10.2003 in O.P.No.351 of 2002 on the file of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal- cum-District Judge, Nalgonda questioning the quantum of compensation. The claimant is said to be a driver of mini lorry bearing No.AP- 26-V-5588 and another lorry bearing No.AHT-8847 came in a rash and negligent manner and dashed against the mini lorry, in which the petitioner was going with goods and received injuries and claimed compensation. The 1st respondent remained ex parte and the 2nd respondent in the lower Tribunal filed counter denying the accident, nature of injuries and its liability. The lower Tribunal after considering the evidence on record, granted a compensation of Rs.68,600/-. The lower Tribunal found that the incident was due to the fault of the driver of the opposite lorry bearing No.AHT-8847 but so far as the injuries are concerned, it has taken into consideration, Ex.A-3, the wound certificate issued by P.W.2, which shows that there is a fracture of the right femur. There is single injury suffered by the petitioner, which is grievous in nature. The lower Tribunal has granted Rs.7,000/- towards loss of amenities of life, Rs.10,000/- towards medical expenses, Rs.5,000/- towards extra nourishment and transportation charges, Rs.9,000/- towards loss of earnings and loss of future earnings were also considered and a sum of Rs.30,600/- was granted. Evidently, the disability certificate was not issued by a Medical Board, which alone is competent to give such a certificate. The disability is partial disability. Therefore, the approach made by the lower Tribunal cannot be said to be incorrect. But, however, so far as the pain and suffering is concerned, the lower Tribunal has granted a sum of Rs.7,000/- only, which appears to be on a lower side, taking into consideration the nature of the injury being grievous. Therefore, the compensation amount of Rs.68,600/- in the order of the lower Tribunal is enhanced to Rs.80,000/- (Rupees eighty thousand only). With the above modification, the appeal is allowed. No costs. ________________________ N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO, J 08-09-2011 MR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO M.A.C.M.A. No. 1911 of 2011 DATE: 08-09-2011 MR
