THIS MOTOR ACCIDENT CLAIMS APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.N. KRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = M.A.C.A. NO. 3 OF 2009 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 2nd day of January, 2009 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)1133/06. On a perusal of the award and the documents I feel the matter requires reconsideration and therefore I am inclined to dispose of the matter without notice to the other side. 2. The claimant, a 26 year old man sustained injuries in a road accident as a result of which he had lost two teeth and had fractured four teeth. The total amount awarded is Rs.7,000/-. I feel this is a grossly inadequate amount considering the nature of injuries. I direct the Tribunal to consider the matter afresh and award a reasonable compensation considering the age of the person as well as the difficulties undergone by him and also it is to find out what will be the medical expenses, what will be the expenses required for extra nourished food and pain and sufferings undergone, provision for attendant's duty and lastly loss of M.A.C.A. 3 OF 2009 -:2:- amenities and compensation for loss of teeth. I direct the Tribunal to consider the matter in this back ground and pass a revised award. Since I am disposing of the appeal at the admission stage itself I direct the claimant to take out notice to the respondents after he enters appearance before the Tribunal on 9.2.09. The MACA is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
