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. There is no representation for the appellant at the previous date of hearing. Even today there is no representation on his behalf. The case was directed to be posted finally today. Learned counsel for the respondent is present. I would not let the case be dismissed for default for non appearance but would proceed to examine the case on merits on the basis of what is contained in the judgment and brought through records submitted along with the appeal. The Tribunal has awarded `29,112/- for injury suffered by her in the accident requiring hospitalization for a period of 40 days. The Tribunal had awarded `7,000/- for pain and suffering, `2,000/-, for special diet, `1250/- for conveyance charges, `700/- for loss of earnings and added to them an amount of `18162/- brought through medical bills, exhibited A-1 to A-27. No medical FAO No. 5276 of 2009 2 evidence had been brought to the effect that she had any permanent disability. The over all assessment of compensation of `29112/-, in my view, would be just compensation and would require no interference. 2. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. (K.
