M.F.A. No. 172 OF 2000

Dated this the 10th day of July, 2008

JUDGMENT

This appeal is preferred against the award passed by the

Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Alappuzha, in OP(MV) 1599/93. It

relates to a claim for compensation on account of the damages

sustained to the vehicle in a road accident. The Tribunal had

considered the said factum in para 10 of the award. The Tribunal

accepted Ext.A13 estimate as such and awarded a compensation of

Rs.98,435/-. It is very clear that Ext.A13 is only an estimate with

respect to the value of the spare parts and repairing charges.

Nothing is produced to show that in pursuance of the same spare

parts had been purchased and the vehicle had been repaired and

that amount has been spent. It is a matter that has to be proved and

it is not proper for any court to award damages on the mere estimate

or an estimate submitted. Therefore the award under challenge

suffers from serious infirmity and it is liable to be set aside. I do so.

The MFA is allowed and the award under challenge is set

aside and the case is remanded back to the Tribunal for fresh

MFA No.172/00 2

consideration after permitting all parties concerned to adduce

documentary as well as oral evidence in support of their respective

contentions. Since the claimant has not appeared before this court,

it is desirable that a notice is issued to the claimant from the Tribunal

before the matter is proceeded with at the expenses of the Insurance

Company.

Parties are directed to appear before the Tribunal on

21.8.08.
