FAO No.167 of 2012 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. FAO No.167 of 2012 Date of decision: November 08, 2012 Vakil Singh ...Appellant Versus Rohtash and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Harish Sharma, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. R.D. Sharma, Advocate for respondent No.3. Rajan Gupta, J. C.M. No.814-CII of 2012: This is an application for condonation of 110 days delay in filing the appeal. For the reasons mentioned in the application, same is allowed. Delay in filing the appeal is condoned. FAO No.167 of 2012: Present appeal has been preferred by the appellant dissatisfied with the compensation granted by the tribunal. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that tribunal has not granted adequate compensation for pain and suffering. Besides, the amount awarded under usual heads such as transportation, attendant, special diet etc. are also on lower side. Learned counsel for the insurance company submits that adequate compensation has been awarded for the injuries suffered by the appellant. FAO No.167 of 2012 2 I have heard learned counsel for the parties and given careful thought to the facts of the case. It appears that accident took place on 8.3.2009 in which appellant suffered injuries. As a result, he had to undergo treatment in PGIMS, Chadigarh. The tribunal has granted a total compensation of Rs.1,67,060/- i.e. Rs.75,058/- for medical treatment, Rs.40,000/- for mental agony and pain on account of disability, Rs.20,000/- for pain and suffering, Rs.20,000/- for special diet, transportation and attendant etc. and Rs.12,000/- for loss of income. I find merit in the plea of the claimant that he is entitled to some more amount under usual heads. Thus, it is held that the appellant would be entitled to another sum of Rs.10,000/- for pain and suffering and Rs.10,000/- under usual heads such as transportation, special diet, attendant etc. Appeal is allowed in these terms. Award of the tribunal is modified to this extent. Rest of the award is maintained as such. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE November 08, 2012 'rajpal'
