In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh F.A.O. No. 3243 of 2008 Date of decision: August 06, 2009 Bohati Devi .. Appellant Vs. Prem Chand Singla and another .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Ms. Ekta Thakur, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Ravinder Arora, Advocate for the Insurance Company. A.N. Jindal, J Challenge in this appeal is to the award dated 29.1.2008 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Chandigarh, whereby the claimant- appellant (herein referred as 'the claimant') has been granted compensation to the tune of Rs.1,75,000/- on account of the injuries suffered by her. She has appealed for enhancement. Heard. I need to go through her statement where she while appearing as PW-4 has stated that she has received injuries on various parts of her body, viz: fracture on right leg above knee, hip and her four teeth have also been broken. She remained admitted in PGI, Chandigarh and rod along with plates was inserted in her thigh and she received 43 stitches including stitches on her chin and right hand. She was advised bed rest. She cannot speak properly and was on liquid diet for one month and thereafter she was advised high protein diet. She remained indoor patient up to 25.6.2002. Due to the fracture suffered by her, she cannot sit and take side till date and hence she had also put one lady servant @ Rs.2000/- per month and she had spent Rs.60,000/- on her treatment. She has also examined Shakuntla Devi as PW-2 in order to prove that she was the attendant of the patient. Now coming to the impugned award, it transpires that nothing was paid to the claimant on account of fixation of teeth, future treatment and meager amount of Rs.30,000/- was given for 27% disability, whereas, she was entitled to at least Rs.54,000/- on account of disability. F.A.O. No. 3243 of 2008 -2- *** Under these circumstances, keeping in view her dents, future treatment, money spent upon the attendant, medicines and loss of income, the amount awarded by the Tribunal needs to be enhanced. Resultantly, I partly allow the appeal and the claimant would be entitled to receive Rs.50,000/- over and above the award amount along with interest at the same rate as awarded by the Tribunal, on the awarded amount.
