THIS MOTOR ACCIDENT CLAIMS APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: J.B.KOSHY & THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JJ. -------------------------------------- M.A.C.A.No.2137 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated 10th December, 2008 JUDGMENT Koshy,J . A young man aged 19 sustained injuries in a motor accident. His left leg below knee was fractured. He produced Ext.A6 disability certificate assessing 15% disability. The doctor was not examined. The claimant was also not examined. The fracture at the young age cannot make much impact on a permanent basis. Disability certificate was not proved by properly examining the doctor. Even though the claimant stated that he was employed as a bus cleaner, no evidence to that effect was produced. Tribunal has taken Rs.2,000/= as notional income and calculated compensation. Total compensation granted is Rs.61,220/= with interest from the date of application. We are of the view that just and reasonable compensation was granted and no interference is required in the same. The appeal is dismissed. J.B.KOSHY JUDGE THOMAS P. JOSEPH JUDGE tks
