THIS MFA COMING ON FOR ORDERS THIS DAY, THE COURT DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
J U D G M E N T This appeal is preferred against the judgment and award dated 29th July 2015 passed in MVC No.1136 of 2014 by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Tumkur, awarding compensation of Rs.15,000/-. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned judgment and award. Considering the facts and circumstances and the injuries suffered by the claimant awarding a sum of Rs.15,000/- globally in addition to what has been awarded by the Tribunal would meet the ends of justice. Accordingly the same is awarded. It is made clear that the enhanced amount does not carry any interest.
Appeal is allowed in part.
