Hon'ble RAFIQ, J.—This appeal has been preferred by the appellant who is owner of the offending vehicle against the award of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal dt.3.2.2009. The Tribunal by the afore-said award has awarded compensation of Rs.1,80,000 to the claimants for the accidental death of a child aged 10 years. The bus involved in the accident was owned by the appellant, which was not insured. 2. Contention of the learned counsel for the appellant is that the child himself was negligent and that he did not take proper care while walking on the road. The child should have been therefore held responsible for contributory negligence and that proportionately the amount of compensation should have been reduced at least to 50%. 3. Having heard the learned counsel for the appellant and perused the award, I find that the learned Tribunal has given reasons why it did not upheld such an agreement. The Tribunal has held that the child was aged 10 years and at that age, he could not be considered as mature enough to understand the obligation of his action, even then there was no direct evidence owing to the fact it was his negligence due to which accident took place. The accident had taken at road crossing where according to the evidence, the bus was being driven by the driver of the vehicle in a rash and negligent manner. Even on the quantum, I do not find any infirmity because the amount of Rs.1,80,000/- has been awarded. The appeal is therefore dismissed.
