FAO No.7285 of 2011(O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.7285 of 2011(O&M) Date of Decision : July 30, 2012. Vinod Kumar .....Appellant versus Parveen Singh and others. .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.JEYAPAUL. Present : Mr.Dheeraj Narula, Advocate for the appellant. Ms.Vandana Malhotra, Advocate for respondent no.3. *** M.JEYAPAUL,J : Heard the submissions made by learned counsel appearing for the appellant as well as learned counsel appearing for respondent no.3. The injured claimant has come up with the present appeal seeking enhancement of compensation aggrieved by the quantum of compensation of ` 90,402/- awarded by the Tribunal. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant would submit that the Tribunal had not taken into consideration the fact that the appellant has lost his marital prospect on account of such an injury sustained by him. It is his further submission that on other counts also the Tribunal has fixed very low amount of compensation. Per contra, learned counsel for the Insurance Company would submit that appropriate award has been passed by the Tribunal taking into account the documents produced before the Tribunal. FAO No.7285 of 2011(O&M) 2 The appellant had sustained injury on his to right Tiabia. Disability based on the evidence of doctor who was examined before the Tribunal was fixed at 15%. The Tribunal has rightly awarded Rs.30,000 towards disability of 15% arrived at by the doctor. For pain and suffering very fairly a sum of Rs.20,000/- was fixed by the Tribunal. For special diet, the cost of attendants and transportation, a sum of Rs.4,000/- for each head has been awarded. No documentary proof was forthcoming for payment of transportation charges. Therefore, rightly a sum of Rs.4,000/- was awarded by the Tribunal towards the said charge. The appellant has spent Rs.28,000/- for medical treatment and the same is apparent from the medical bills produced. Therefore, the trial Court has rightly awarded a sum of Rs.28,000/- towards medical treatment. I do not find any error in the judgment passed by the trial Court. The trial Court has awarded just compensation for the injury sustained by the appellant. There is no merit in the appeal and, therefore, it stands dismissed. There is no order as to costs. The application for delay has become purely academic on account of the final disposal of the main appeal. Therefore, the same is dismissed. (M.JEYAPAUL) July 30, 2012 JUDGE P.Singh
