Saini, Advocate for respondent No.3. CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. The appeal is against dismissal of petition for compensation for personal injury suffered in an accident and for damage to the car. While examining the issue of compensation, the Tribunal found that there had been no proof adduced by examination of doctor or any documentary proof adduced to show that the injuries had been sustained in a motor accident and that he had incurred any expenses for the same. Even as regards the claim to damages for the vehicle, the claimant had merely examined some person, who had prepared the bills but his evidence was not worth relying by the Tribunal since he admitted that he himself not prepared the bills and he was not FAO No.1403 of 1997 -2- personally aware of the alleged damages to the car. The quality of evidence before the Tribunal was so bad that it was not possible for the Tribunal to assess any compensation payable to the claimant. I do not find any new materials to take a different view nor can I find anything significantly wrong about the manner of disposal of the case by the Tribunal. 2. The award of dismissal passed by the Tribunal is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE January 03, 2011 Pankaj*
