Learned counsel for the respondents has filed a copy of the judgment in MFA No.1196/2022 dated 15.02.2024. A perusal of the said judgment discloses that the respondents herein had preferred the said appeal challenging the judgment and award dated 08.03.2021 passed in MVC No.7498/2018 on the file of the VII Additional Senior Civil Judge, ACMM and MACT-3, Court of Small Causes, Bengaluru (for short, “the Tribunal”), on the ground that the compensation awarded by the Tribunal was inadequate and meager. After hearing both sides, this Court partly allowed MFA No.1196/2022 and modified the award by enhancing the compensation to a sum of Rs.10,30,043/- as against Rs.9,34,043/- awarded by the Tribunal, with interest at 6% per annum from the date of the petition till realization. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:14855 MFA No. 4179 of 2021 3. In view of MFA No.1196/2022 having been partly allowed and the compensation having already been modified by this Court, the present appeal filed by the appellant seeking to set aside the judgment and award dated 08.03.2021 passed in MVC No.7498/2018 on the file of the VII Additional Small Causes Judge and ACMM, Member, MACT-3, Bengaluru, does not survive for consideration. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. SD/- (DR.K.MANMADHA RAO) JUDGE GSR List No.: 1 Sl No.: 52
