That is a petition<\/p>\n<p>filed under Section 166 of the M.V. Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2. The allegation is that on 28.2.2000, while the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>was riding his motor cycle with his wife as pillion rider from<\/p>\n<p>Parassala to Cheruvarakonam from north to south, a Tamil Nadu<\/p>\n<p>bus bearing No.TN 74 N-0252, belonging to the second<\/p>\n<p>respondent and driven by the first respondent in the O.P. in a<\/p>\n<p>rash and negligent manner came from the opposite direction and<\/p>\n<p>hit against the motor cycle, as a result of which the petitioner and<\/p>\n<p>M.A.C.A.No. 692 of 2004<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>his wife fell down and sustained injuries. The accident took place due<\/p>\n<p>to the rash and negligent driving of the first respondent.          The<\/p>\n<p>petitioner claims Rs. 3 Lakhs as compensation.        The wife of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner filed O.P.(M.V.) 1293 of 2000 claiming Rs. 1 Lakh as<\/p>\n<p>compensation.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3. The respondents filed written statement contending that the<\/p>\n<p>accident was due to the rash and negligent driving of the petitioner and<\/p>\n<p>that the compensation claimed is excessive.         Before the Claims<\/p>\n<p>Tribunal, PWs. 1 and 2 and RW1 were examined. Exts.A1 to A20<\/p>\n<p>were marked.       The learned Claims Tribunal, on considering the<\/p>\n<p>evidence, allowed O.P. (M.V.) No.1287 of 2000 and an award was<\/p>\n<p>passed allowing the petitioner to realise a sum of Rs.90,540\/- with<\/p>\n<p>interest at the rate of 9% from the date of the application till date of<\/p>\n<p>realisation from respondents 1 and 2 in the O.P. Against that award<\/p>\n<p>the second respondent in the O.P. filed this appeal.<\/p>\n<p>      4. Heard the learned counsel for the appellant and the learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the first respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p>M.A.C.A.No. 692 of 2004<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      5. The learned counsel for the appellant argued that the accident<\/p>\n<p>was due to the rash and negligent driving of the petitioner, who was<\/p>\n<p>riding the motor cycle and that the compensation awarded               is<\/p>\n<p>excessive. In connection with the accident the police registered a case<\/p>\n<p>against the first respondent in the O.P. as Crime No. 68 of 2000 for the<\/p>\n<p>offences punishable under Sections 279 and 337 I.P.C. Ext.A5 is the<\/p>\n<p>copy of the charge sheet. The petitioner and his wife were examined as<\/p>\n<p>PWs. 1 and 2. They gave evidence to the effect that the accident<\/p>\n<p>occurred due to the rash and negligent driving of the bus by the first<\/p>\n<p>respondent. Eventhough the first respondent was examined as RW1 to<\/p>\n<p>prove that he was not negligent, his version cannot be accepted in the<\/p>\n<p>absence of any independent evidence. Since the testimony of PWs. 1<\/p>\n<p>and 2 is supported by Ext.A5 charge sheet, we are of the view that the<\/p>\n<p>learned Claims Tribunal is justified in finding that the accident was due<\/p>\n<p>to the rash and negligent driving of the bus by the first respondent in<\/p>\n<p>the O.P.\n<\/p>\n<p>M.A.C.A.No. 692 of 2004<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      6.    As regards the quantum of compensation awarded, the<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the Claims Tribunal<\/p>\n<p>went wrong in assessing the permanent disability of the petitioner as<\/p>\n<p>13% without any disability certificate. A copy of the wound certificate<\/p>\n<p>and other records    show that due to the       accident the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>sustained the following injuries.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>            &#8220;Fracture (R) clavicle, fracture (R) zygoma,<\/p>\n<p>      fracture squamous part of temporary bone just posterior<\/p>\n<p>      to the (R) mastoid, numbness (R) little finger, swelling<\/p>\n<p>      (R) cheek, tenderness (R) zygomatic arch and post<\/p>\n<p>      immobilisation stiffness (R) shoulder. He was admitted<\/p>\n<p>      and treated in the Medical College hospital as inpatient<\/p>\n<p>      for the period from 28.2.2000 to 7.3.2000 and thereafter<\/p>\n<p>      in the Parassala Government Hospital for the period<\/p>\n<p>      from 9.3.2000 to 21.3.2000.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>     7. Considering the nature of the injuries, Rs.12,500\/- awarded by<\/p>\n<p>the Tribunal towards compensation for pain and sufferings cannot be<\/p>\n<p>M.A.C.A.No. 692 of 2004<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>said to be exorbitant. PW1 swears that he was working as R.C.C.<\/p>\n<p>Fitter cum Electric Welder and was getting Rs.5,850\/- as monthly<\/p>\n<p>income. Considering the nature of the work done by the petitioner, the<\/p>\n<p>Tribunal assessed the monthly income as Rs.2,000\/-, which is also<\/p>\n<p>reasonable.   Rs.8,000\/- awarded as compensation towards loss of<\/p>\n<p>earnings for four months is also reasonable. Since the Tribunal is well<\/p>\n<p>experienced in dealing with motor accident claims cases, the disability<\/p>\n<p>of 13% assessed by the Tribunal based on medical records and on<\/p>\n<p>seeing the petitioner at the time of examination before him, we are of<\/p>\n<p>the view that the percentage of disability assessed by the Tribunal is<\/p>\n<p>not excessive. Ext.A6 is the wound certificate, which shows that the<\/p>\n<p>age of PW1 is 35 years. 17 is taken by the Tribunal as suitable<\/p>\n<p>multiplier. Calculating on that basis, the Tribunal awarded Rs.53,040\/-<\/p>\n<p>as compensation for permanent disability, which is also, according to<\/p>\n<p>us, not unreasonable. Rs.10,000\/- awarded towards compensation for<\/p>\n<p>loss of amenities in life is also not excessive, in our view. In the light<\/p>\n<p>M.A.C.A.No. 692 of 2004<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>of the above aspects of the matter, we are of the view that this appeal is<\/p>\n<p>without any merit and is liable to be dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>      8. This appeal is dismissed. The award passed in O.P. (M.V)<\/p>\n<p>No.1287 of 2000 on the file of the M.A.C.T., Neyyattinkara is<\/p>\n<p>confirmed. The parties are directed to suffer their respective cost in<\/p>\n<p>this appeal.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                         (K. M.
