IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THURSDAY, THIS THE 5th DAY OF AUGUST, 2010 CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No.2484 of 2003 Between United India Insurance Co. Ltd., rep. by its Manager …APPELLANT(S) A N D Koka Srinivasa Rao and another …RESPONDENT(S) THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No.2484 of 2003 ORAL JUDGMENT: Heard both sides. 2. Challenging the quantum of compensation, awarded by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal-cum-District Judge, Nalgonda (for brevity “the Tribunal”), in O.P.No.108 of 2001, by order and decree, dated 22.04.2002, for the injuries suffered by the petitioner therein, in a road accident that occurred on 29.05.1997, the appellant-United India Insurance Company Limited filed the present Civil Miscellaneous Appeal. 3. The appellant is the insurer, 1st respondent is the claimant and 3rd respondent is the owner of offending vehicle i.e., lorry. 4. The particulars regarding the method and the manner in which the accident took place and the rash and negligence etc., are not referred to herein, as they are not in dispute. 5. The Tribunal, after appreciating the entire material, including the evidence, both oral and documentary, available on record, awarded a total sum of Rs.15,000/- towards compensation to the claimant for the injuries suffered by him in the accident. 6. The only point that arises for consideration, in this appeal, is whether the quantum of compensation awarded by the Tribunal is proper and justified? 7. I have carefully gone through the impugned award, passed by the Tribunal. The Tribunal, having elaborately dealt with all the aspects, came to the conclusion that the claimant is entitled to Rs.15,000/- towards compensation for the injuries suffered by him in the accident. However, notwithstanding the grounds and the reasons recorded by the Tribunal, while granting the compensation or the objections taken by the appellant, as the case may be, the appeal deserves to be dismissed only on the ground of triviality of the amount of compensation. In cases where the Tribunal awarded a minimum amount of compensation, it is inexpedient for this Court to interfere with the impugned award. 8. In the result, the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ D.S.R.VARMA, J 05th AUGUST 2010 CVRK
