IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.4565 of 2010 Date of decision :20.10.2011 Anil ...Appellant Versus Subhash and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr.Sumeet Singh, Advocate for Mr. K.S. Dhaliwal, Advocate, for the appellants. Mr. Suman Jain, Advocate, for the respondent-Insurance Company. JITENDRA CHAUHAN, J. (Oral) The instant appeal has been filed against the award dated 05.03.2010 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Karnal, (for short ‘MACT’), seeking enhancement of compensation, on account of injuries sustained by the appellant. From the perusal of the award it is made out that Rs. 2000/- has been awarded towards the head 'pain and suffering', Rs. 2,000/- for ‘transportation’, and a sum of Rs.1000/- on account of 'nutritious diet'. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. A perusal of the record, bears out the fact that the compensation of Rs. 2000/- awarded towards the head 'pain and suffering' is inadequate and as such the compensation awarded under the head 'pain and suffering' is raised from Rs. 2000/- to Rs.12000/-, over and above the amount already awarded. Award under all other heads is reasonable and adequate amount of compensation has been awarded. To that extent the award passed by the learned Tribunal is maintained. The enhanced awarded amount of Rs. 10,000/- shall be payable within 45 days from the receipt of copy of this judgement. In case enhanced amount is not paid within stipulated period, it shall carry interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum from the date of filing of the appeal till it is realised. 20.10.2011 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) tarunsahni JUDGE Note : Whether to be referred to Reporter ?
