                         JUDGMENT

Radhakrishnan, J

Appeal has been preferred by the first

respondent in O.P.(MV)453/1995, to set aside the award

passed by the Tribunal. Accident not disputed, but the

quantum of compensation awarded by the Tribunal is

under challenge.

2. Ext.A7 dated 31.7.1996 is the disability

certificate issued from Medical College Hospital,

Kottayam, which shows that the claimant has 4%

permanent disability. Ext.A7 certificate was not

challenged. In such circumstances, Tribunal accepted the

certificate as such and an award of Rs.34,750/- is fixed as

compensation. We have gone through the records and

examined the mode of fixation of the amount. we find no

infirmity in the award passed by the Tribunal. In the

absence of any contra evidence, this appeal lacks merit

and the same is dismissed.
