THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA Civil Miscellaneous Appeal No.2510 of 2003 ORAL JUDGMENT: Heard both sides. 2. Aggrieved by the Award and decree, dated 30.06.2001, in O.P.No.421 of 1995, passed by the Chairman, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (District Judge), Anantapur (for brevity “the Tribunal”), awarding a sum of Rs.14,000/- towards compensation as against the claim of Rs.50,000/- made by the claimant for the injuries sustained by him in a motor accident that occurred on 25.05.1995, due to the rash and negligent driving on the part of the driver of the car, bearing registration No.AP 02 4799, the present civil miscellaneous appeal has been preferred by the insurer-Oriental Insurance Company Limited. 3. Appellant is the insurer of the offending car, respondent No.1 is the claimant, and respondent Nos.2 and 3 are driver and owner, respectively, of the offending car. 4. This is a case of injuries sustained by the claimant in a road accident. 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 entire evidence on record, both oral and documentary, awarded a sum Rs.14,000/- holding the insurer and the owner of the offending car jointly and severally liable to pay the compensation. Aggrieved by the same, the present appeal is filed by the insurer. 5. The only point that arises for consideration in this appeal is whether the quantum of compensation awarded by the Tribunal is proper and justified? 6. A perusal of the impugned Award would show that a total amount of Rs.14,000/- only was awarded holding the insurer and the owner of the offending car jointly and severally liable to pay the compensation. In my considered view, the quantum of compensation under challenge is too trivial to be interfered with by this Court. 7. Therefore, at this length of time, I do not feel it expedient to interfere with the amount of compensation awarded by the Tribunal and hence, on the ground of triviality alone, the appeal is liable to be dismissed. 8. In the result, the civil miscellaneous appeal is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA 22.07.2010 Msr.
