We have heard counsel for the appellant and Standing Counsel for the Insurance Company and have gone through the award. Appeal is filed with a delay of 112 days. On considering the merits of the case, we notice that the accident led to loss of two teeth of the appellant and the total compensation granted under various heads is Rs.26,550/-. We do not find any substance in the grievance raised by the appellant because compensation granted is very reasonable. Grounds raised to condone the delay are also not acceptable. We, therefore, dismiss the delay condonation petition and consequently the appeal. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge C.K.ABDUL REHIM Judge pms
