(1.) BEING aggrieved by the judgment and award dated 19.12.2006 passed in M.V.C. No. 5349/2007 by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Bangalore dismissing the claim petition, the claimant has filed this present appeal.

(2.) THE claim is towards the damages sustained to his Tata Victa No. KA 42 -1578 in an accident that occurred on 03.07.2007 near the Rajajinagar 1st Block Signal. A Tata Indica bearing No. KA 04 B 3779 came in a rash and negligent manner and dashed against the appellant's vehicle. In this regard, he got his vehicle repaired and incurred expenses of Rs. 2,94,654/ - including labour charges. During the said period, so he lost his earnings. Hence, he prayed for compensation for a sum of Rs. 5,49,654/ -. The same was contested and by the impugned order, the claim petition was dismissed. Hence, the present appeal.

(3.) ON a specific question being asked, the counsel for the appellant is unable to reveal the actual damages sustained and whether the evidence is sufficient to show that he has incurred an expense of Rs. 2,94,654/ -, None of the exhibits would disclose that the appellant had spent the said amount -. Under these circumstances, none of the contentions of the appellant requires any consideration. Except in the evidence of the appellant where he has narrated figures, there is no other material produce by the appellant to substantiate the same. The learned counsel for the appellant pleads inability to satisfy this Court He very fairly contends that none of these figures have been marked by him in the evidence. Under these circumstances, I do not find any error committed by the Tribunal in dismissing his petition. The appeal is devoid of merit and is dismissed.
