On the asking of the court, Mr. Pardeep Goyal, Advocate accepts notice on behalf of the Insurance Company-respondent No.3. Service of the remaining respondents is dispensed with. This appeal for enhancement is directed against the award dated 5.3.2009 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Bathinda, awarding compensation to the tune of Rs.33400/- along with interest @ 8% per annum in favour of the claimant-appellant (herein referred as 'the appellant') for the injuries suffered by her during the accident. Arguments heard. On perusal of the statement of Dr. Tejpal Singh Wadi (CW1), it transpires that the claimant had suffered fracture of thigh Dr. Tejpal Singh Wadi has also testified that the claimant remained admitted in the hospital w.e.f. 3.6.2007 to 5.6.2007. She had suffered grievous injury. The Tribunal has awarded a sum of Rs.25,000/- as compensation for the pain and sufferings and also a sum of Rs.8413/- spent by her on treatment. The F.A.O. No. 3456 of 2009 -2- *** medical record (Ex.C1) further indicates that there was fracture of pelvis, as such she must have undergone some operation for uniting the fracture so also on follow up treatment, transportation and special diet but nothing was paid to her against these heads. However, learned counsel for the appellant has offered to settle the appeal if it is enhanced by Rs.10,000/- over and above the award amount to which counsel for the respondent No.3 has also consented. In view of the consensus arrived at between the parties, this appeal is partly allowed, the award is modified and the claimants would be entitled to receive a sum of Rs.10,000/- over and above the award amount which would be paid by the company within 45 days from the date of receipt of copy of this order, failing which the claimant would be entitled to receive the same along with interest at the same rate as awarded by the Tribunal.
