Hon'ble SINGH, J.—Heard learned counsel for the appellant. 2. This miscellaneous appeal, under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, has been filed for enhancement of the amount of Rs.56,692/- awarded by way of compensation with interest @ 6% per annum with effect from the date of filing of the claim petition i.e. 15th October 2001 under the award passed by the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (Essential Commodities Act), Jaipur dated 24th August 2005 in claim case No.377/2004 (2719/2001) in respect of the injuries suffered by the appellant. 3. Learned counsel for the appellant has taken the Court through the award by the learned Tribunal, more particularly discussions from 16 onwards wherein it has been mentioned that the appellant received the grievous injury in the form of a fracture of the left leg for which he was operated upon and as a result of the injury suffered he has a permanent disability of 6.93%. 4. Admittedly, there is nothing to suggest that the appellant who is a Government servant has been adversely affected on account of the aforesaid injury in any manner for his ability to perform the duties in the service for which he was employed. The amount of Rs.56,692/- awarded by way of compensation to the appellant cannot be said to be inadequate or unjust looking to the nature of the injuries. 5. In the facts and circumstances, I find no ground to interfere with the award passed by the learned Tribunal. 6. The miscellaneous appeal fails and is, accordingly, dismissed summarily.
