Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. Both the appeals are for enhancement of compensation for injury suffered in a motor accident. The claimant in FAO No.1933 of 2005 had a fracture of his leg and he had been hospitalized from FAO No.1933 of 2005 -2- 25.12.2001 to 3.1.2002 where he was operated upon and there had been an open reduction of the fracture by a surgical intervention. The Tribunal has provided for every head of claim namely loss of income at Rs.5,000/-, attendant charges at Rs.3,000/-, special diet at Rs.3,000/-, medical expenses at Rs.5,000/- and Rs.10,000/- for a disability component said to have resulted by the injuries, although this disability itself was not established by the examination of the doctor. The only head of claim that had not been addressed is pain and suffering and for a hospitalization for about two weeks and for a fracture of leg and for surgical pain, I will provide for an additional amount of Rs.15,000/- and the said amount shall also attract interest @6% from the date of the petition till the date of payment. 2. FAO No.1933 of 2005 is allowed to the above extent. The liability amongst the respondents shall remain as it is determined by the Tribunal. 3. As regards the claim in FAO No.1934 of 2005, there is nothing substantial and the Tribunal had granted a compensation of Rs.1,000/- for simple injuries sustained by the claimant. I see no scope for interference. 4. FAO No.1934 of 2005 is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE December 17, 2010 Pankaj*
