THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO C.M.A.No. 1556 of 1999: DATED: 18.09.2009 BETWEEN: R.Ranga .. Appellant And K.Jayaram and another .. Respondents THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO C.M.A.No. 1556 of 1999: JUDGMENT: This appeal is directed against the award, dated 31.07.1997 passed by the Motor Vehicle Accidents Claims Tribunal-cum-V Additional District Judge, Thirupathi in O.P.No.53 of 1996. 2. This is a claimant’s appeal seeking enhancement of compensation. 3. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the appellant/claimant. 4. None appears for the second respondent insurance company. 5. In a claim under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, the learned Tribunal as against the claim of Rs.1,00,000/- granted an amount of Rs.30,000/- as compensation for the injuries sustained by the claimant in a motor vehicle accident. The claimant is a driver aged 22 years at the time of the accident. As could be seen from Ex.A-2 injury certificate he received one simple injury and grievous injury. Ex.A-3, disability certificate discloses that the claimant sustained 30% disability, which is partial and permanent. The claimant also sustained fracture of right femur and compound fracture, both bones left leg with malunion. However, the claimant except examining himself, did not examine any other witness, more particularly the doctor who treated him and issued the injury certificate, as well as the disability certificate. However, the Tribunal taking into account the injuries mentioned in Ex.A-2, injury certificate, granted lump sum amount of Rs.30,000/- as compensation. 6. It has been contended by the learned counsel appearing for the appellant that though the amount was claimed under different heads, the Tribunal awarded a lump sum amount of compensation without considering the various heads under which the claimant is entitled. 7. I absolutely see no force in the contention urged on behalf of the claimant-appellant. Even though no doctor was examined, the learned Tribunal considering the injuries mentioned in Ex.A-2, injury certificate, granted compensation of Rs.30,000/- which is just and reasonable. Even if the compensation is granted under various heads, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and the evidence adduced on behalf of the claimant, it will not exceed Rs.30,000/-. 8. The appeal in my view is devoid of merit and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the same is dismissed without costs. ____________ R. KANTHA RAO, J Date:18.09.2009. CCM
