JUSTICE K.KANNAN. 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgement? No 2. To be referred to the reporters or not? No 3. Whether the judgement should be reported in the digest? No ---- PRESENT: MR. AJIT SIHAG, ADVOCATE FOR THE APPELLANT. K.KANNAN, J.(ORAL) 1. The appeal is for enhancement of claim for compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident. The Doctor who had immediately treated the appellant after the accident was one Mandeep Singh and he merely gave evidence to the effect that he had a head injury, for which C.T. Scan had been taken. The claimant had been admitted in the hospital at Delhi on 29.10.2006 and remained in hospital till 5.11.2006. The Tribunal had provided for compensation as follows:- “i. Compensation on account of `81704.00 treatment ii. Compensation on account of `2000.00 transportation charges iii. Compensation on account of `8000.00 hospitalization iv. Pain and suffering `20000.00 v. Expenses incurred on `3000.00 follow up treatment. Total `114704.00” FAO No.7163 of 2010 -2- 2. The only argument of the counsel for the appellant is that the Tribunal did not provide for future loss of earning. No evidence was brought as to how the injury had impacted his earning skills. Loss of future earning must be dependent on specific evidence brought through an expert or his own evidence. There is no such evidence to support the plea for a provision for loss of earning capacity. 3. I do not find any error in the award. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed.
