SHAKUNTLA DEVI Vs. ASHOK KUMAR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Challenge in this appeal is to the judgment and award dated 26th July, 2001 passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal Behror, District Alwar whereby the learned Tribunal decreed an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- together with interest @ 9% payable from the date of filing the claim petition till its actual realisation in favour of the appellant-injured. Dissatisfied with this amount of compensation, the appellant has preferred this appeal for enhancement of the same.

(2.) Background facts, in a nut shell, are thus:

(3.) The appellant-injured filed a claim petition before the Tribunal and the learned Tribunal having recorded the statements of the witnesses and heard the parties, rendered an award of Rs.1,00,000/- in favour of the appellant and against the respondent. The appellant did not find this amount of compensation to be apt and reasonable, hence, this appeal.
