SBCMA NO.1555/08. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR O R D E R Kailash Vs. Mawasi S.B. CIVIL MISC.APPEAL NO.1555/2008. Date of order : 17/04/2008. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri K.N. Tiwari for the appellant. ****** BY THE COURT:- Heard learned counsel for the appellant. This appeal for enhancement of compensation is directed against the award dated 11/12/2007 whereby, the learned Tribunal has awarded Rs.10,000/- to the appellant as compensation for the injuries sustained by him. Learned counsel for the appellant has argued that the appellant sustained fracture of shoulder and one injury to his right leg. He had to be hospitalized for one month. He was earning Rs.250/- per day and, therefofe, the Tribunal ought to have awarded reasonable amount as compensation. The Tribunal has merely awarded lump-sump compensation. Learned counsel argued that the appellant is an illeterate person and, therefore, he could not produce the bills of medical expenses and the Tribunal ought to have taken pragmatic view of the matter. The impugned-award therefore may be set- aside. SBCMA NO.1555/08. 2 Having heard learned counsel for the appellant and perused the award, I find that the appellant before the Tribunal has simply produced his injury report. He has not produced any bills of medical expenses or the proof for any kind of treatment taken by him. In his cross-examination, he merely stated that he did not retain the bills. The Tribunal, in view of lack of evidence, has rightly decided to award lump-sump compensation of Rs.10,000/- with interest @ 9% p.a. from the date of the application. I therefore do not find any error in the award of the Tribunal. The appeal is therefore dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. anil/-
