THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA C.M.A.No.1593 of 2003 ORAL JUDGMENT: Heard both sides. 2. Aggrieved by the quantum of compensation awarded by the District Judge, Cuddapah-cum-Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (for brevity “the Tribunal”), in M.V.O.P.No.823 of 1999, for the injuries sustained by the petitioner therein, in a road accident that occurred on 24.03.1999, the appellant-United India Insurance Company Limited has preferred the present Civil Miscellaneous Appeal. 3. Before the Tribunal, the petitioner examined herself as P.W.1 and Doctor B.Ramachandraiah, who examined P.W.1 and issued disability certificate, under Ex.A-4, was examined as P.W.2 and got marked Exs.A-1 to A-13 on his behalf. One Sri K.Rajeev, was examined as R.W.1 and no documents were marked on behalf of the insurance company. 4. The Tribunal, having considered the entire material, including the evidence, both oral and documentary, available on record, held that the accident occurred due to rash and negligent driving of the lorry, fixed the total loss of earnings at Rs.1,68,000/-, by applying the multiplier ‘16’ for the age of the claimant i.e., 35 years, and awarded a sum of Rs.21,061/- towards medical expenses, Rs.5,000/- towards pain and suffering and in total awarded Rs.1,94,061/-, rounded off to Rs.1,94,000/-. 5. As per the evidence of doctor-P.W-2, he examined the claimant and found limping of right lower limb, pain of right hip, deformity over right leg and left wrist, 1½” shortening of right leg, creptus over right hip, left wrist is mal-union of left radius and mal-union of right both bones of leg and advised total replacement of right hip joint, corrective surgery of right leg, which is a permanent disability of 35%. 6. I have carefully perused the impugned award, passed by the Tribunal, which is a well reasoned one. The Tribunal has elaborately dealt with all the aspects and awarded the compensation. 7. For the foregoing, I see no illegality or irregularity in the impugned order, passed by the Tribunal, to interfere with the same, and the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal fails and is liable to be dismissed. 8. In the result, the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is dismissed. However, there shall be no order as to costs. --------------------------------- JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA 22ND JULY 2010 dr
