The challenge is to the quantum of compensation awarded by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Jalgaon in Motor Accident Claim Petition No.359 of 1998.

He met with an accident and suffered multiple injuries in the nature of fracture, dislocation of right hip, dislocation of right supraclavicular with CSF rhinorrhea right, etc. The claimant had incurred medical expenditure close to Rs.70,000/-.

3. The Tribunal, after assessing the entire evidence, has granted a sum of Rs.2,50,000/- as compensation. It may appear that the compensation is little bit on higher side. Over 15 years have passed after the impugned award was passed. The claimant appears to have received 50% of the amount under the impugned award.
4. In totality of the circumstances, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the impugned judgment and award. In the result, the appeal fails. The same is dismissed.
5. The amount in deposit with this Court or the Tribunal be paid to the claimants along with interest accrued thereon.
