F.A.O. No. 5650 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH F.A.O. No. 5650 of 2010(O&M) Date of decision:4th March, 2011 Satbir Singh .......Appellant Versus Shazaad Ahmad and others ........Respondents BEFORE: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.KANNAN Present: Mr. Amit Kumar Jain, Advocate, for the appellant. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? Yes/No 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not?Yes/No 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Yes/No K.KANNAN, J.(Oral) 1. The appeal is for enhancement of compensation amounted to ` 85,000/- for injuries suffered in a motor accident. 2. The appellant had a fracture of sub trochanter, surgery had been made for reduction of the fracture and it was stated that he had been taking treatment for eight months. Doctor stated that he had 5% disability. The Tribunal assessed the compensation thus:- Sr. No. Nature Amount in Rupees 1. Medical expenses ` 33,000/- 2. Pain and suffering ` 15,000/- Special diet 3. Disability ` 10,000/- F.A.O. No. 5650 of 2010 2 4. Loss of income ` 21,000/- 5. Transportation ` 6,000/- Total ` 85,000/- 3. I find that every head had been properly addressed/assessed. Learned counsel states that Tribunal has provided for loss of income only for 7 months while he had been still nursing the injury and had difficulty in resuming duty. It is also contended that monthly income was assessed at `3,000/- per month and that it should have been `3,500/-. I do not think such minor deviations would make a difference in the over all assessment. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. [K.KANNAN] JUDGE 4th March, 2011 Shivani Kaushik
