ABDUL REHIM, JJ. -------------------------------------------- M.A.C.A. No. 780 OF 2006 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 12th day of January, 2009 JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair,J. Appeal is filed challenging the award of the MACT granting compensation to the second respondent for the damage caused to his building by the KSRTC bus. Appellant admits liability, but dispute is only on quantum of compensation. On going through the award and after hearing counsel for the appellant, we do not think there is any scope for interference because considering the extensive damage caused to the second respondent's shop room, which is a pucca structure with RCC roof, and the damage caused to the articles inside, the compensation awarded is quite reasonable. Appeal is consequently dismissed. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge. (C.K. ABDUL REHIM) Judge. kk 2
