THIS MOTOR ACCIDENT CLAIMS APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 23/11/2009,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: rs. M.N. KRISHNAN, J. ........................................... M.A.C.A.No.273 OF 2004 ............................................. Dated this the 23rd day of November, 2009 J U D G M E N T This is an appeal preferred against the award of the Claims Tribunal, North Paravur in OP(MV)No.546/2001. The claimant sustained injuries in a road accident and the injuries are: incised injury over left tendon 8x1 cms muscle deep, incised injury over occipital area of scalp. 2. I find that the Tribunal has been extraordinarily reasonable in awarding compensation under all heads. It found only two incised wounds. Considering the nature of injuries on the ankle and on the occipital area, the Tribunal has awarded Rs.10,000/= for pain and sufferings, Rs.5,000/= towards loss of amenities and Rs.7,000/= towards medical expenses and other expenses making a total compensation of Rs.23,000/=. There is absolutely no disability sustained nor there is anything to show any further treatment which he had undergone. So, it is a proper compensation as contemplated under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act which does not call for any interference. : 2 : The appeal lacks merit and the same is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE cl
