This appeal is preferred against the award of the Motor

Accidents Claims Tribunal, Thodupuzha in O.P.(MV)758/03.

The claimant, an agriculturist aged 44 years sustained

injuries in a road accident. He had suffered a fracture of the

humerus with radial nerve neuropraxia. He was treated in

the hospital from 9.2.02 to 15.2.02. He had expended a sum

of Rs.12,114/- towards treatment. The Tribunal took his

income at Rs.2,000/- and also held that he had not

continued treatment and there is nothing to show that he

had suffered any disability on account of the accident though

Ext.A7 is issued as a disability certificate. It is not seen

proved also. The Tribunal has awarded adequate

compensation under all heads and on account of the fracture

the Tribunal had awarded an amount of Rs.7000/- towards

loss of amenities and enjoyment in life. The Tribunal has

given liberal compensation for pain and sufferings, loss of

M.A.C.A.2036 OF 2006
-:2:-

earnings etc. The actual expenses incurred on other heads

are also granted which is just and reasonable and it does not

call for any interference therefore the appeal lacks merit and

it is dismissed.
