FAO No. 1110 of 1992 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH FAO No. 1110 of 1992 Date of decision January 25 , 2011 Naresh Kumar ....... Appellant Versus Haryana Roadways, Chandigarh and others ........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Rajat Panjeta, Advocate for Mr. R. S. Chahar, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Kunal Garg , AAG., Haryana for respondent No.1. None for respondent No.2. Mr. Ravinder Arora, Advocate for respondent No.3. **** 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? No 2. To be referred to the reporters or not? No 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest?No K. Kannan, J (oral). 1. The appeal is for enhancement of compensation for a fracture of left leg that required hospitalization to the claimant and reduction of fracture by application of plaster. The doctor had been examined and he has stated that he he was likely to limp during his normal walk. The doctor was not prepared to say that he had resulted in any permanent disability. For a fracture of the lower end of the tibia and medial malleolus, the Tribunal had provided for 10,000/- for the fracture and FAO No. 1110 of 1992 2 `3,000/- for pain and suffering, `4,000/- for medical treatment and `1,000/- for conveyance charges and `2,000/- for loss of income. 2. Learned counsel states that he was earning `3,000/- in business and was in bed for six months. I do not find any evidence however relating to income or evidence to support the plea that he could have been awarded any higher sum. The assessment of pain and suffering for a fracture could have been more than `3,000/- but this is compensated by the fact that the Tribunal has awarded `10,000/- towards disability arising for a fracture even when no one had spoken about any disability. The overall compensation assessed in the year 1990 would according to me be just compensation and requires no intervention. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. (K.
