JUDGEMENT
J.K.Maheshwari, J. -
(1.) This appeal is filed by the appellant under section 173 of
the Motor Vehicles Act against an award
dated 30.6.1999 passed by learned Third
Additional Member, M.A.C.T., Ratlam in
Claim Case No. 28 of 1998. By the impugned award, the Claims Tribunal has
awarded a total sum of Rs. 63,000 with
interest to the appellant by way of compensation for the injuries sustained in the
accident occurred on 1.3.1997.
(2.) The appellant had preferred a claim
petition under section 166 of the Motor
Vehicles Act, seeking compensation to the
tune of Rs. 1,20,500. According to appellant, compensation awarded by Tribunal is
meagre and deserves enhancement; however, by filing the appeal inadequacy of
the compensation has been assailed.
(3.) It is not necessary to narrate the entire facts in detail, such as how the accident
occurred, who was negligent in driving the
offending vehicle, who is liable to pay the
compensation, etc., because the Tribunal
has already recorded the findings in favour
of the appellant, none of those findings
have been challenged at the instance of the
respondents, i.e., owner/driver/insurance
company by filing cross-objection or cross-
appeal. In that view of the matter, it is not
necessary to burden the judgment by detailing the facts on all these issues.;
