THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU MACMANo. 1770 of 2007 JUDGMENT: Not satisfied with quantum of compensation of Rs.22,500/- granted against her claim of Rs.2,00,000/- by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal-cum-III Additional District Judge, (Fast Track Court) Nizamabad in O.P.No.1361 of 2004 by award dated 16.03.2007, the claimant filed this appeal. There is no dispute about factum of accident and driver of the accident vehicle driving the same in rash and negligent manner. PW1 is the claimant. As per evidence of PW2 and Ex.A3 Wound Certificate, the claimant sustained fracture of tibia of right leg, fracture of 1,2,3 right ribs and contusion over right chest. The lower Tribunal awarded compensation of Rs.5000/- for fracture of tibia and Rs.7,500/- for fracture of three ribs, Rs.1000/- for simple injury, Rs.3000/- towards medical treatment, Rs.2000/- towards pain and suffering, Rs.1000/- towards transport and extra nourishment and Rs.3000/- towards loss of earnings. In my opinion, compensation amount awarded for fracture injuries is not appropriate. The claimant is entitled to just and reasonable compensation of Rs.15,000/- for fracture of tibia of right leg and Rs.20,000/- for fracture of three ribs put together and that compensation amounts under other heads is reasonable. In the result, the appeal is partly allowed enhancing the compensation amount of Rs.22,500/- to Rs.45,000/-. No costs. ______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU,J 30.11.2010 lvl
