FAO No.5875 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.5875 of 2010 DATE OF DECISION: March 28, 2011 SHIV GOYAL ...APPELLANT VERSUS BALJIT SINGH AND OTHERS ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.KANNAN. 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgement? No 2. To be referred to the reporters or not? No 3. Whether the judgement should be reported in the digest? No ---- PRESENT: MR. AMIT KUMAR JAIN, ADVOCATE FOR THE APPELLANT. K.KANNAN, J.(ORAL) 1. The appeal is for enhancement of claim for compensation assessed at `3,60,000/-. The claimant is in appeal stating that provision for future expenses have not been made. Before the Tribunal it was elicited that he had obtained reimbursement for the medical bills submitted by him to the tune of `50,000/- although the reimbursement was only `41,302/-. Evidently, he was in employment which provided reimbursement for his medical expenses and if the Tribunal was not making a separate provision for future medical expenses, I will not take that to be only ground for consideration of the matter for assailing the award, especially when the Tribunal had evidence on record to show that the claimant was entitled to obtain medical reimbursement for the expenses. 2. While determining the compensation the Tribunal has provided as follows:- FAO No.5875 of 2010 -2- “S.No. Nature Amount in ` 1. Medical Expenses 50000-00 2. Pain and Suffering 50000-00 3. Permanent Disability 76000-00 4. Transportation Charges 25000-00 5. Nutrition diet 09000-00 6. Attendant Charges 100000-00 7. Loss of income 50000-00 Total 360000-00” I find that every head of claim had been properly addressed for an injury that resulted in fracture of his leg and an implant placed for open reduction of the fracture. The over-all compensation of `3,60,000/-, in my view, is appropriate and just and there is no scope for enhancement. 3. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed.
