JUDGEMENT 1. I have heard the submissions of the learned counsel appearing for the parties. The challenges in this appeal is to the judgment and award dated 14th July 1992, passed by the learned Member of the Motor Accident Claim Tribunal. The award has been made u/s. 140 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. 2. The respondent claimant was proceeding from Madhavnagar to Budhage on 29th January, 1991. When he reached near Vasantdada College, the appellant who was plying a motor cycle gave a dash to him. The respondent suffered injuries. His contention is that he suffered fracture of tibia fibula (right) and he suffered permanent disability to the extent of 10%. : 2 : 3. By the impugned judgment and award, the Tribunal granted compensation of Rs.12,000/- on account of disability. 4. The submission of the learned counsel for the appellant is that there was no evidence on record to show that the appellant suffered fracture and also suffered a disability to the extent of 10%, as there was no evidence adduced by the respondent. 5. I have given careful consideration to the submissions. The liability of the appellant u/s.140 of the said Act 1988, is a no fault liability in as much as it is not necessary for the claimant to prove the aspect of negligence. The fact that the appellant while plying his motor cycle gave a dash to the respondent, is not disputed. The respondent produced the disability certificate issued by the Civil Surgeon at Sangli. Moreover, he produced certificate of Dr. Kulkarni, stating that he suffered fracture of tibia fibula (right). The learned Member of the Tribunal was justified in accepting the documents and awarding the statutory compensation of Rs.12,000/-. 6. I find no error in the impugned judgment and award. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. No order as to costs. (A.S. OKA, J.)
