JUDGMENT
This appeal is filed by the appellant/Insurance Company being aggrieved by the judgment and decree, dated 31.07.2009 passed in O.P.No.581 of 2007 by the Chairman, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal-cum-I Additional District Judge, at Adilabad (for short "the Tribunal"), wherein, the learned Tribunal awarded a total compensation of Rs.47,505/- with interest @ 7.5% per annum from the date of petition till the date of realization against total claim of Rs.2,50,000/- for the injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.
2. When the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned counsel appearing for the respondent No.1/claimant submitted that in respect of the same accident and the very same impugned judgment, the respondent No.1/claimant had filed an appeal vide M.A.C.M.A.No.2533 of 2011 seeking 2 enhancement of compensation. It is further submitted that the said appeal was heard and partly allowed by this Court vide judgment dated 20.09.2023, whereby the compensation was enhanced from Rs.47,505/- to Rs.77,505/-. In view of the fact that the findings of the Tribunal regarding the accident and the liability have already been adjudicated and the compensation has been enhanced in the claimant's appeal, the learned counsel submitted that the present appeal filed by the Insurance Company challenging the original award does not survive for consideration.
3. In view of the above submissions and considering the fact that this Court in M.A.C.M.A.No.2533 of 2011, has already dealt with the subject matter of the accident involving the lorry bearing No.C.G.04.JA-7755 and the auto bearing No.AP 01 2274 and has enhanced the compensation awarded by the Tribunal, nothing remains to be adjudicated in the present appeal. Therefore, the present appeal filed by the Insurance Company is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed.
4. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed. No order as to costs.
As a sequel, the miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
