Accident not disputed, but the quantum of compensation awarded by the Tribunal is under challenge. 2. Ext.A7 dated 31.7.1996 is the disability certificate issued from Medical College Hospital, Kottayam, which shows that the claimant has 4% permanent disability. Ext.A7 certificate was not challenged. In such circumstances, Tribunal accepted the certificate as such and an award of Rs.34,750/- is fixed as compensation. We have gone through the records and examined the mode of fixation of the amount. we find no infirmity in the award passed by the Tribunal. In the absence of any contra evidence, this appeal lacks merit and the same is dismissed. K.S.RADHAKRISHNAN Judge A.K. BASHEER Judge mrcs
