In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh F.A.O. No. 2442 of 2008 Date of decision: August 11, 2009 Bimla .. Appellant Vs. Lakhvinder and others .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Jitender Sharma, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Paul S. Saini, Advocate for the respondent No.3. A.N. Jindal, J This appeal for enhancement is directed against the award dated 13.3.2008 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Hisar, whereby the claimants have been awarded compensation to the tune of Rs.60,560/- on account of the injuries suffered by the claimant. The Tribunal has awarded a sum of Rs.50560/- on account of medical bills and Rs.10,000/- on other heads. The compensation awarded to the claimant appears to be very meager. On scrutiny of the award, it appears that the Tribunal did not award adequate compensation. The medical certificate reveals that the claimant suffered disability to the tune of 16%. It should have awarded compensation to the tune of Rs.32,000/- on account of disability suffered by him. The injured remained hospitalized for 26 days, but nothing has been awarded to her for the expenses incurred over the attendant, special diet and future treatment. As such, the claimant should have been awarded Rs.30,000/- on these heads over and above Rs.10,000/- already awarded by the Tribunal. Accordingly, I partly allow the appeal. Now the claimant would receive a sum of Rs.62,000/- over and above the award amount along with interest at the same rate as awarded by the Tribunal. August 11, 2009 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
