FAO No.4225 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.4225 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision. 23.02.2011 Krishan Kumar son of Shri Maya Ram resident of village Kharindwa, District Kurukshetra ......Appellant Versus Balbir Singh son of Harbhjan Singh and others .....Respondents Present: Mr. Kulwant Singh Dhanora, Advocate for the appellant. CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? No 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? No 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? No -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. The appeal is for enhancement for injury suffered in an accident. He has said to have suffered fractures on both legs and hospitalized for 20 days. The medical bills proved on record were of Rs.63,755/- and the Tribunal had awarded a sum of Rs.1,25,000/- without adverting to the separate heads of claim. The doctor had stated that he had 27% disability, which I would understand as functional disability arising on account of the fracture at the time when he was examined. I cannot see that this could make any impact on prospect of earning in future. For two fractures and hospitalization, Rs.20,000/- were to be accorded for pain and suffering, Rs.2500/- for special diet, Rs.2500/- for attendant charges and another Rs.2500/- for transportation and a further amount of about Rs.30,000/- for FAO No.4225 of 2010 (O&M) -2- inconvenience caused to the person for the rest of his life, the amount would still total up to less than Rs.1,25,000/-. Although the method of disposal of the appeal making a lumpsum grant without adverting to each one of the heads of the claim is not desirable, even if such provisions had been properly made, I would find no scope for enhancement. 2. The award is, therefore, confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE February 23, 2011 Pankaj*
