Dated this the 12th day of November 2008
JUDGMENT
This appeal is preferred against the judgment in O.P.(MV)No.1485
of 2002. The claimant, a 25 year old goldsmith by profession sustained
injuries in a road accident. He was admitted in St.James Hospital,
Chalakkudy where he had undergone treatment. It is seen that he had
sustained injuries on the eye brow, upper lip and lower lip and also a
fracture on the 3rd meta carpel. He had undergone inpatient treatment and
the Tribunal has awarded him Rs.17,200/- as compensation. The Tribunal
has not granted any compensation for bystander expenses and for nutritious
food. I award him Rs.1,300/- jointly under that heads and another sum of
Rs.4,000/- towards loss of amenities and enjoyment in life on account of
the injuries sustained in the accident thereby enhancing compensation by
Rs.5,300/-.
In the result, MACA is partly allowed and the claimant is entitled to
an additional compensation of Rs.5,300/- with 7% interest on the said sum
from the date of petition till realisation and the insurance company is
MACA 525/2008 -:2:-
directed to deposit the amount within 60 days from the date of receipt of a
copy of this judgment.
