            K. KANNAN, J. (Oral)

There is no scope for interference in the case where a petition filed under Section 163-A of the Motor Vehicle Act came to be disposed of applying the scales of compensation as required to be applied statutorily. A case is now sought to be made that only `2500/- towards funeral expenses were awarded and no claim under the head of transportation was given. The judicial innovations of what have gone towards a higher assessment of compensation under Section 166 of the Act cannot be attracted to Section 163-A which is statute driven on the heads of claim possible and the quantum that should be addressed under each of such head. I make no intervention in the award already passed. The appeal is dismissed.

            February 26, 2014                                         (K.KANNAN)
