S.B. Civil Misc. Appeal No.1326/2006

(Karan Singh Versus Shri Mahendra Singh &

Others)

Date of Order

::

1^st February, 2012

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH BHAGWATI

Mr. Anshul Sharma, counsel for the appellant

Mr. N.S. Rathore )counsel for the respondents

Mr. Akshat Chaudhary)

BY THE COURT:

Challenge in this appeal is to the

judgment and award dated 2^nd February, 2006

rendered by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal

(Additional District Judge) Fast Track No.2,

Beawar, whereby the learned Tribunal decreed an

amount of Rs. 11,886/- in favour of claimant-

appellant and against the non claimants-

respondents on account of an accident having

taken place on 23.11.2002 near Rajmahal Hotel,

Beawar. Being dissatisfied with the amount of

compensation, the instant appeal has been filed

by the claimant-appellant for enhancement of

the quantum of compensation.

2.

Having heard the learned counsel for

the parties and carefully perused the impugned

award, it is noticed that the learned Tribunal

awarded Rs. 1000/- for each simple injury and

for eight simple injuries, decreed an amount of

Rs. 8000/- in favour of the claimant-appellant;

2

Rs. 1200/- for being admitted in the hospital

as indoor patient; Rs. 186/- for purchase of

medicines; and Rs. 2500/- under the head of

trauma, to and fro charges and for keeping the

attendant etc.

3.

Learned counsel for the appellant

submits that the amount of Rs. 2500/- awarded

by the learned Tribunal under the head of

trauma, and to and fro charges is very meagre.

In the interest of justice, this amount should

have been enhanced and the impugned award needs

to be modified.

4.

Learned counsel for the respondents-

non claimants does not object to it.

5.

With the consent of learned counsel

for the parties, I deem just and proper to

enhance the amount of Rs. 2500/- awarded under

the head of trauma and to and fro charges to

Rs. 5000/-.

6.

In the result, the Writ petition is

partly allowed. The claimant appellant is held

entitled to get an amount of Rs. 14,386/- from

the non claimants-respondents. Rest of the

terms under the award shall remain unchanged.

7.

Impugned award stands modified as

indicated here-in-above.
