NO. 1944 OF 2008 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 13th day of October, 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)868/02. The claimant, a 50 year old man sustained injuries in a road accident and the Tribunal awarded him a compensation of Rs.4,000/-. A perusal of the documents would reveal that the injuries sustained are an abrasion over the right leg 3 x 2 c.m., two more abrasions of 1 x 1 c.m. over the mid shin and another wound of 1 c.m. over right leg-shin. The injuries are absolutely simple injuries which did not create any complications and therefore the award of the Tribunal granting a compensation of Rs.4,000/- is just and reasonable as contemplated u/s 166 of the M.V.Act. Therefore the appeal lacks merit and the same is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
