Appellant, a bank employee, met with a motor accident by which he sustained fracture of left humerus. It is contended that he was aged 46 at the time of the accident, but, only 11 was taken as the multiplier. He produced a certificate assessing 15% disability and taking Rs.15,000/= as the annual notional income compensation for disability and loss of earning power was calculated at Rs.24,750/=. He was a bank employee. His employment was not affected due to the accident. There is no case that because of the injuries, his salary or income was reduced. In fact, the compensation need not have been granted on a multiplier method. In any event, it cannot be stated that the compensation awarded is not just and reasonable. The appeal is dismissed.
