SMT JUSTI CE T. RAJANI MACMA No.4 1 6 of 2 0 0 8 JUDGMENT:

This appeal is preferred by the appellant, who is the 2nd respondent-Insurer before the court below assailing the Judgment, dated 20.12.2006, of the I Additional Chief Judgecum-Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, City Civil Courts at Secunderabad, passed in MVOP.No.100 of 2004, on the ground that the compensation awarded by the court below is excessive. 2.

Heard the counsel for the appellant. None appears for the respondents.

3.

The facts of the case are that a child, aged 8 years, died in the motor accident. Though the compensation arrived at by the court below was Rs.2,25,000/ -, it restricted the compensation to Rs.2 lakhs as the claim was only for Rs.2 lakhs. 4.

Hence, even as per the law settled by now, the compensation would be Rs.2,25,000/ -. Hence, there cannot be any grievance to the appellant in that regard. Hence, the MACMA is dismissed. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any pending, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
