This appeal is preferred against the award of the Motor

Accidents Claims Tribunal, Kottayam in O.P.(MV)23/00. It is

for enhancement. A perusal of the award of the Tribunal

would show that the claimant had only sustained some minor

abrasions and tenderness and the Tribunal had referred to

the wound certificate and the medical certificate. It has also

considered the medical bills produced in O.P.23/00 which

comes to Rs.582/-. So taking note of these factors the

Tribunal has awarded a compensation of Rs.5,000/-. There

is nothing produced before this Court to show that it needs

enhancement or that the compensation awarded is not just

and reasonable. Therefore I do not find any merit in this

appeal and it is dismissed.

M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE.
