      Not  satisfied  with award dated  02.12.1999  made  in<\/p>\n
M.A.C.T.O.P.No.837  of  1997  on  the  file  of  the   Motor<\/p>\n
Accidents  Claims  Tribunal,  (Principal  District   Judge),<\/p>\n
Dharmapuri   District  at  Krishnagiri,  the  claimant   has<\/p>\n
preferred this appeal.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
     2.   Brief facts leading to this appeal are as follows:<\/p>\n
On  20.10.1995  at about 11.00 a.m., when the appellant  was<\/p>\n
proceeding   towards   Krishnagiri  in   a   lorry   bearing<\/p>\n
registration No.TCG 3400, another lorry bearing Registration<\/p>\n
No.TN-31-1921, owned by the first respondent, came in a rash<\/p>\n
and  negligent manner, dashed against his lorry  and  caused<\/p>\n
heavy  damages to the lorry.  The lorry owned by  the  first<\/p>\n
respondent  is  insured  with  the  second  respondent,  the<\/p>\n
Oriental  Insurance Company Limited.  The appellant  claimed<\/p>\n
compensation of Rs.1,00,000\/- as damage to the property.<\/p>\n
      4.    The Second respondent-Insurance company resisted<\/p>\n
the  claim, contending  inter alia that the accident did not<\/p>\n
occur  in  the  manner set out in the claim petition.   They<\/p>\n
disputed the driving licence of the appellant.<\/p>\n
      5.    Before  the  Tribunal,  the  appellant  examined<\/p>\n
himself  as  P.W.1.   P.W.2 is the driver  of  his  vehicle.<\/p>\n
Ex.P1  – First Information Report dated 20.10.1995, Ex.P2  –<\/p>\n
Motor Vehicles Inspection Report; Ex.P3 – Copy of the Policy<\/p>\n
and Ex.P4 – Bills  were marked on the side of the appellant.<\/p>\n
On behalf of the respondents, The Surveyor, who assessed the<\/p>\n
damage  to  the vehicle, was examined as RW.1  and  Ex.B1  –<\/p>\n
Judgment copy in O.S.No.5 of 1998 and Ex.B2 – Motor Vehicles<\/p>\n
Inspection Final Report dated 16.01.1996 were marked.<\/p>\n
     6.   On consideration of oral and documentary evidence,<\/p>\n
the  Tribunal found that the driver of the first  respondent<\/p>\n
was responsible for the accident and awarded compensation of<\/p>\n
Rs.25,955\/- with interest at the rate of 12% per annum.<\/p>\n
     7.   Heard Mr.P.Mani, learned counsel appearing for the<\/p>\n
appellant  and  Mr.Varadhakamaraj for Mr.S.Manohar,  learned<\/p>\n
counsel appearing for the second respondent.<\/p>\n
      8.    Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that<\/p>\n
the  Tribunal ought to have accepted the evidence  of  Pws.1<\/p>\n
and  2  and  Exs.P1 to P4 and awarded suitable compensation.<\/p>\n
He  further submitted that the Tribunal has erred in relying<\/p>\n
upon  the evidence of RW.1, Surveyor and Ex.B2, his  report,<\/p>\n
in awarding compensation.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
     9.    Per  contra,  learned counsel for  the  Insurance<\/p>\n
Company  submitted  that the vehicle was registered  in  the<\/p>\n
year  1986 and that the valuation was properly done by RW.1,<\/p>\n
Surveyor.  He further submitted that all the defects pointed<\/p>\n
out  in  Ex.B2, Surveyor’s report and vouchers submitted  by<\/p>\n
the  owner  of the vehicle have been properly considered  by<\/p>\n
the Tribunal.  The award is just and reasonable compensation<\/p>\n
and does not warrant interference.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
     10.   PW.1  has  deposed  that  the  vehicle’s  mirror,<\/p>\n
bumber,  main  axle,  spring  plate,  side  body  have  been<\/p>\n
damaged.   In  Ex.P3,  Motor  Vehicles  Inspection   report,<\/p>\n
following parts were noted as unfit for ordinary use.<\/p>\n
           “Front  Cabin,  windscreen glass (2),  side
\n     glass,  side  door,  radiator,  one  set  bumper,
\n     front  main  axle, damaged chassis to be  checked
\n     for   bent,  steering  (sic)  box  damaged,  Dash
\n     board, bonnet, Diesel tank damage.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The  appellant  also produced Ex.P4, bills and  vouchers  in<\/p>\n
support   of   his  and  contended  that  he  had   incurred<\/p>\n
considerable expenses for the purchase of spare  parts.  But<\/p>\n
the  appellant  has  not produced the damage  parts  of  the<\/p>\n
vehicle before the Court.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
     11.  Ex.B2, dated 16.01.1996 is the final report issued<\/p>\n
by  RW.1,  Surveyor appointed by the Insurance Company.   In<\/p>\n
Annexure  2 of the report,  he has given a brief description<\/p>\n
about  the  damages caused to the vehicle.   It  is  clearly<\/p>\n
mentioned in the report that there was damage to cabin, rear<\/p>\n
body,  chassis assembly, cooling system, main axle assembly,<\/p>\n
steering box assembly and suspension assembly.  The surveyor<\/p>\n
also included the labour charges for the mechanic, value  of<\/p>\n
the parts and allowed costs after depreciation.  He assessed<\/p>\n
the   damages  to  the  vehicle  at  Rs.28,324\/-  and  after<\/p>\n
deducting the amounts towards policy, salvage value  of  the<\/p>\n
materials and for parts, assessed the total loss to the tune<\/p>\n
of Rs.25,925\/-.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      12.   The  procedure followed in  the  case  of  claim<\/p>\n
regarding  damage to the vehicle is that,  as  soon  as  the<\/p>\n
accident is intimated to the company, a spot survey is  done<\/p>\n
or  the  vehicle  is taken to the company for  survey.   The<\/p>\n
vehicle is removed to the repairer or the authorized  dealer<\/p>\n
of  the  vehicle.  An estimate of repairs is  obtained.   To<\/p>\n
avoid  inflation  of cost of repairs, the surveyor  verified<\/p>\n
with  the mechanic, the actual repair undertaken by him  and<\/p>\n
also the spare parts used in the vehicle.  The value of  the<\/p>\n
parts  allowed, subject to depreciation, labour charges  for<\/p>\n
the  mechanic  are taken into account for  arriving  at  the<\/p>\n
damages, subject to deduction towards policy and salvage and<\/p>\n
other   permissible  deductions.   Therefore  in  cases   of<\/p>\n
accidental  damage, the indemnity is the  cost  of  repairs,<\/p>\n
i.e, labour charges plus the cost of replacement.  To assess<\/p>\n
the   evidence  relating  to  repair  and  replacement,  the<\/p>\n
evidence  of  the  mechanic  who  repaired  the  vehicle  is<\/p>\n
necessary.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      13.  Though the appellant\/claimant deposed that he had<\/p>\n
spent considerable amount for repairing the vehicle, he  has<\/p>\n
failed  to  examine the mechanic, who repaired the  vehicle.<\/p>\n
Mere  production of bills alone is not sufficient  to  prove<\/p>\n
that   the  repairs  have  been  rectified  and  there   was<\/p>\n
replacement  of spare parts.  If the mechanic  is  examined,<\/p>\n
the  insurer  will have an opportunity to cross examine  him<\/p>\n
with reference to the Motor Vehicles Inspector’s report  and<\/p>\n
the  surveyor’s report.  In the present case, RW.1, Surveyor<\/p>\n
has  deposed  that  the he had examined  the  mechanic,  who<\/p>\n
repaired the vehicle and noted down the spare parts used  in<\/p>\n
the vehicle, for ascertaining the damages.<\/p>\n
      14.   RW.1  is a Mechanical Engineer with  Diploma  in<\/p>\n
Engineering,  who has considerable experience  in  assessing<\/p>\n
the damage to the vehicle.  There is no reason to reject his<\/p>\n
oral  testimony  of  a qualified surveyor  and  his  report,<\/p>\n
Ex.B2.   The  evidentiary  value of  the  Surveyor’s  report<\/p>\n
cannot  be  brushed  aside,  in the  absence  of  acceptable<\/p>\n
evidence on the side of the appellant\/claimant.  In view  of<\/p>\n
the  above, I do not find any illegality in the order of the<\/p>\n
Tribunal, in assessing damages to the property.<\/p>\n
      15.  In the result, the award is confirmed.  The Civil<\/p>\n
Miscellaneous Appeal is dismissed.  No costs.<\/p>\n
