No. 383 OF 2007 --------------------- Dated this the 12th day of August, 2008 JUDGMENT This appeal is preferred against the award passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Irinjalakuda, in OP(MV) 637/01. A perusal of the award would reveal that the claimant had sustained a fracture of the calcanium with crush injury. She was treated as inpatient in the hospital for a period of 13 days. The Tribunal awarded a total compensation of Rs.39,784. The Tribunal fixed her income at Rs.1,500/- accepted the total disability at 6%, as contended, applied appropriate multiplier of 13 and granted the disability compensation of Rs.14,040. It further awarded Rs.3,000/- each for loss of amenities and enjoyment in life and for loss of earning. The Tribunal awarded an amount of Rs.12,244/- for actual medical expenses incurred and a sum of Rs.6,000 for pain and suffering. So a perusal of the award would reveal that the Tribunal has awarded a just and reasonable compensation, which does not call for any interference. Therefore the appeal lacks merit and it is accordingly dismissed. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE vps
