THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No.925 of 2003 ORAL JUDGMENT: Heard both sides. 2. Aggrieved by the order and decree, dated 27.9.2002, in O.P.No.857 of 1999, passed by the Chairman, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal-cum-District Judge, Adilabad, (for brevity “the Tribunal”), awarding compensation of Rs.64,500/- as against the claim of Rs.1,50,000/- for the injuries sustained by the 1st respondent-claimant in the motor accident that occurred on 03.11.1998 at 12-00 Noon, near Bharathi Camp, Purna Taluk, Parbhani District of Maharashtra State, due to the rash and negligent driving on the part of the driver of the jeep, bearing No.AP 1D 1001, belonging to the 2nd respondent, the present civil miscellaneous appeal has been preferred by the appellant-insurer. 3. The appellant herein is the insurer, 1st respondent is the claimant and 2nd respondent is the owner of the offending jeep. The particulars regarding the method and manner in which the accident took place are not referred to since already on record. The Tribunal, after appreciating the evidence on record, both oral and documentary, awarded a sum of Rs.64,500/- towards compensation to the claimant. Hence the present appeal by the insurer. 4. The only point that arises for consideration in this appeal is whether the quantum of compensation awarded by the Tribunal is proper and justified. 5. The claimant is a minor, aged about 6 years. She suffered fracture to her right leg and also injuries on her chest, hand and other parts of the body. As per Ex.A-8 disability certificate issued by the doctor, the disability sustained by the claimant is 30%. In such circumstances, it is to be noted that the claimant was a 6 years old child. The consequences of any injury suffered by a girl of 6 years old would certainly have its own impact in many ways, in future. Sometimes, it may cause some inconvenience at the time of marriage and she would be looked down upon by all her school-mates and others. Therefore, taking into account the over all circumstances, I am of the view, the Tribunal had rightly estimated the total amount of compensation at Rs.64,500/-. 6. Therefore, I do not find any irrationality in the compensation awarded by the Tribunal and the order of the Tribunal does not call for any interference by this Court. 7. In the result, the civil miscellaneous appeal is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA 08.07.2010 Msr.
