For Respondent No.3 : Mr. Samir Singh, Advocate (Single Bench) Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Judgment on Board 30.06.2026 1. This appeal under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 has been preferred by the appellant/ claimant seeking enhancement of the amount of compensation, challenging the impugned award dated 06.07.2019 passed by learned Additional Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (Fast Track Court) Mahasamund (for short “the Claims Tribunal”) in Claim Case No.H-88/2017, by which the claim application of the claimant has been allowed and an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- has been awarded as compensation to the claimant along-with interest @ 9% per annum from the date of filing of claim application for the injuries suffered by her in the accident occurred on 07.04.2015. 2. Perusal of the record would show that just & proper compensation has not been awarded to the claimant by the learned Claims Tribunal, therefore, the amount of compensation deserves to be enhanced. 3 3. Learned counsel for the insurance company/ respondent No.3, would submit that the amount of compensation awarded by the Claims Tribunal is just & proper, which does not call for any interference. 4. After going through the record, it appears that only Rs.1,00,000/- has been awarded as compensation, which is very meager amount and, therefore, Rs. 50,000/- more is awarded to the appellant/ claimant in addition to the amount already awarded by the learned Claims Tribunal. Hence, the claimant is entitled for an amount of Rs. 50,000/- in addition to the amount of compensation already awarded by the Claims Tribunal. The concerned respondent is directed to deposit the amount of compensation as enhanced by this Court within a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The additional amount of compensation shall also carry interest @ 9% per annum from the date of filing of claim application before the Tribunal till its realization. Rest of the conditions of the impugned award shall remain intact. 5. In the result, the appeal is partly allowed and the impugned award is modified to the extent as indicated herein-above.
