SISTA SOMAYAJULU Digitally signed by SISTA SOMAYAJULU Date: 2025.11.11 10:42:08 +0530 (MAC No.979/2023) Single Bench:- Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Judgment on Board 10/11/2025 1. This appeal under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 has been preferred by the appellants herein/claimants seeking enhancement in the amount of compensation, challenging the impugned award dated 22-3-2023 passed by the 11th Additional Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Raipur in Claim Case No.1205/2021, whereby the learned Claims Tribunal has granted a compensation of ₹ 5,60,000/- for the death of deceased Lucky Vaishnav, aged about 10 years at the time of incident. The appellants herein/claimants are parents of the deceased. 2. Mrs. Dhaneshwari Patel, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellants herein/claimants, would submit that for the death of claimants’ son Lucky Vaishnav, aged about 10 years, a compensation of ₹ 5,60,000/- has been awarded by the Claims Tribunal, which is very much on lower side and the same be enhanced suitably. 3. I have heard learned counsel for the appellants herein/claimants and considered her submissions and also gone through the record with utmost circumspection. 4. After having heard learned counsel for the appellants herein/ claimants and after going through the record, the compensation awarded by the Claims Tribunal to the appellants herein is in accordance with law, it is just and proper and I do not find any merit (MAC No.979/2023) in this appeal to enhance the amount of compensation. Accordingly, the present claimants’ appeal is dismissed. No order as to cost(s). Sd/- (Sanjay K. Agrawal) Judge Soma
