This appeal under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 [hereinafter referred to as "the Act of 1988"] has been preferred by the appellant/claimant seeking enhancement of compensation, challenging the impugned award dated 04.02.2025 passed in Claim Case No. 101/2023 by the learned Additional Motor Accident Claims Tribunal Chirmiri, District Koriya whereby the learned Claims Tribunal has awarded a total sum of Rs. 91,000/- as compensation for the injuries sustained by the Appellant in a road accident which occurred on 20.09.2023. 2. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the learned Claims Tribunal has awarded a meagre amount of compensation for the injuries sustained by the appellant. It is, therefore, prayed that the instant appeal be allowed and the compensation awarded by the Tribunal be suitably enhanced. 3. Learned counsel for respondent No. 3/Insurance Company submits that the learned Claims Tribunal, after appreciating the oral and documentary evidence on record, has rightly awarded the compensation. Hence, the compensation awarded by the Tribunal is just and proper and calls for no interference. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties, considered their rival submissions made hereinabove and have perused the record with utmost circumspection. 5. The Claims Tribunal, after appreciation of the oral and documentary evidence available on record, found that the appellant/claimant had not sustained any grievous injuries 3 and had also not sustained any permanent disability in the said accident. She was admitted to the hospital for 14 days. No bills regarding treatment nor doctor's prescriptions have been produced by the appellant. Considering the nature of injuries, the Tribunal has awarded a total sum of Rs. 91,000/-, which in the considered opinion of this Court is just and proper and warrants no interference. 6. In view of the above discussion, I do not find any illegality or infirmity in the impugned award passed by the learned Claims Tribunal. The appeal, being devoid of merit, is hereby dismissed.
