Sharma, Advocate for the appellant. CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? No. 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? No. 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? No. -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. Both the appeals are for enhancement of compensation for injuries suffered in a motor accident. Both the claimants have sought for enhancement on the ground that the assessment of pecuniary heads of claim is on a lower side. Both these cases are cases of fracture and the assessment of the disability are 15% and 6% respectively. The compensation was awarded @Rs.2,000/- for percentage of disability, which I understand relate to the loss of amenities of life. It was not brought out specifically in evidence that there was any resultant loss of earning capacity. The heads of claim which are awarded in respective cases are as follows:- FAO No.5779 of 2010 (O&M) -2- FAO No.5779 of 2010 1 Compensation on account of permanent disability Rs.12,000/- 2 Compensation on account of pain and suffering Rs.6,000/- 3 Compensation on medical expenses Rs.20,000/- 4 Compensation on account of loss of amenities, loss of income etc. Rs.8,000/- 5 Expenses incurred on transportation Rs.2,000/- 6 Compensation on account of special diet, attendant etc. Rs.2,000/- Total Rs.50,000/- FAO No.5780 of 2010 1 Compensation on account of permanent disability Rs.30,000/- 2 Compensation on account of pain and suffering Rs.6,000/- 3 Compensation on medical expenses Rs.40,000/- 4 Compensation on account of loss of amenities, loss of income etc. Rs.10,000/- 5 Expenses incurred on transportation Rs.2,000/- 6 Compensation on account of special diet, attendant etc. 2,000/- Total Rs.90,000/- 2. As far as the pecuniary heads of claim are concerned, for medical expenses, the Tribunal has awarded the compensation for what was produced before Tribunal and for other heads like transportation and special diet, the Tribunal was making an approximation @Rs.2000/- for each one of the heads of claim. I do not find any error in the approach of the Tribunal. 3. The awards are confirmed and the appeals are dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE February 24, 2011 Pankaj*
