JUDGMENT : Mansoor Ahmad Mir, J. This appeal is directed against the award, dated 7th August, 2009, passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal(I), Kangra at Dharamshala, (for short, “the Tribunal”), in MAC Petition No.84-D/II-2006, titled Kuldeep Singh vs. Pankaj Sapehia and others, whereby compensation to the tune of Rs.1,68,974/-, with interest at the rate of 9% per annum, came to be awarded in favour of the claimant (respondent No.1 herein) and the insurer was saddled with the liability, (for short the impugned award). 2. The claimant, the driver and the owner/insured have not questioned the impugned award on any ground. Thus, the same has attained finality so far as it relates to them. 3. Feeling aggrieved, the insurer has questioned the impugned award on the ground that the compensation awarded by the Tribunal is excessive. 4. Thus, the only question needs to be determined in this appeal is – Whether the amount of compensation awarded by the Tribunal is excessive? 5. Factum of the offending vehicle having been insured with the insurer/appellant is not in dispute. No breach of the insurance policy has been proved by the insurer in order to seek exoneration and for saddling the owner with the liability. 6. As far as amount of compensation is concerned, the Tribunal has made detailed discussion in paragraph 17 of the impugned award while deciding issue No.2. The amount awarded, in no way, can be said to be excessive or on the higher side, rather the compensation granted appears to be inadequate. However, the claimant has not questioned the impugned award and has not preferred any appeal. 7. Having glance of the above discussion, there is no merit in the appeal and the same is dismissed. Consequently, the impugned award is upheld. The Registry is directed to release the amount in favour of the claimant, alongwith interest, after proper identification.
