HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO M.A.C.M.A.No.2191 OF 2011 JUDGMENT: The appeal is filed by the petitioner in M.V.O.P.No.108 of 1997 on the file of Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal-cum-I Additional District Judge, Chittoor, questioning the quantum of compensation. 2. A claim was made for compensation of Rs.1,00,000/- for the injuries received by the petitioner in a motor accident and the lower Tribunal has granted a compensation of Rs.30,000/-. 3. As can be seen from the record, the petitioner is said to have received injuries. As opined by PW.2 the petitioner has got one fracture and two simple injuries. The lower Tribunal has granted a compensation of Rs.20,000/- towards disability and a sum of Rs.5,000/- was granted towards pain and suffering and a sum of Rs.5,000/- was granted towards medical expenses. When the evidence on record clearly goes to show that there is a grievous injury over the post aspect of right elbow the grant of Rs.5,000/- only as compensation for pain and suffering appears to be on the lower side. Therefore, taking into consideration the above fact, the compensation granted by the lower Tribunal is enhanced to Rs.50,000/- instead of Rs.30,000/-. 4. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________________ JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO Date:15.09.2011 INL
