In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh FAO No. 1592 of 2008 Date of decision: July 06, 2009 Oriental Insurance Company Limited .. Appellant Vs. Sukhwinder Singh and another .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Vinod Chaudhary, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Vishal Gupta, Advocate for the respondents. A.N. Jindal, J This appeal is directed against the order dated 15.10.2008, passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Yamuna Nagar (herein referred as 'the Tribunal'), whereby an amount of Rs.1,31,174/- was awarded to Sukhwinder Singh claimant-respondent (herein referred as 'the respondent'), on account of the injuries suffered by him during accident. Learned counsel for the appellant has urged that the amount not exceeding to Rs.15,000/- could be awarded as compensation for the medical expenses as one time payment, therefore, the Tribunal was not justified in awarding a sum of Rs.1,08,174/- as medical expenses. The amount as claimed by the respondent is not shown to have been paid as one time payment, therefore, the case of the petitioner is covered by the Schedule II of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, 1988. Perusal of the bills would show that a sum of Rs.6000/- was paid towards anesthesia; Rs.6000/- towards OT charges; Rs.19,600/- were paid as operation fee; Rs.2,000/- as nursing care; Rs.5,600/- towards visits of the doctor; Rs.28,000/- towards room charges for 15 days; and Rs.32,000/- as other expenses. From the bill FAO No. 1592 of 2008 -2- *** Ex.P16 and statementof S.K. Tayagi (PW4), it would well be inferred that the payments were made against different bills and in installments on different dates. In addition a sum of Rs.8174/- was paid against the medical bills. The court also assessed the pecuniary loss suffered by him to the tune of Rs.18,000/-. The award passed by the Tribunal being well reasoned and well founded cannot be interfered with. Dismissed.
