========================
JUDGMENT
The petitioner in O.P.(M.V.).No.1515/2000 on the file of Motor
Accidents Claims Tribunal, Kozhikode is the appellant. The petitioner
claimed compensation alleging that he sustained injuries in a motor
vehicle accident. The FIR produced by petitioner himself shows that
no offence under Section 279 of Indian Penel Code was alleged against
the driver of the bus. Ext.A2 wound certificate also shows that when
he was boarded into the vehicle the door hit on his body and sustained
very minor injury. The injury sustained is also trivial in nature. So the
Tribunal took a view that petitioner fails to prove that he sustained
injuries in a road traffic accident. It is a finding of fact based on good
evidence which does not call for any interference. There is no merit in
the appeal and it is only to be dismissed.
In the result, the appeal is dismissed.
K.PADMANABHAN NAIR
