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. HARISH NAIN, ADVOCATE FOR THE APPELLANT. NONE FOR RESPONDENT NO.1 MR. PAUL S. SAINI, ADVOCATE FOR RESPONDENT NO.2. K.KANNAN, J.(ORAL) 1. The appeal is for enhancement of compensation for injuries suffered in an accident that resulted in fracture of his left knee and left eye. The Tribunal had awarded `30,000/- that included `8,000/- for medical expenses for which bills had been produced, and hence there was definite evidence. The claimant stated that he was a businessman and was earning `10,000/- per month and he could not work and do his business for 6 months. No details of business are known and there is no proof of any income from his business. 2. Learned counsel states that although there is no evidence, the Court must provide for compensation for loss of income @ `10,000/- for 6 months and a provision must also be made for transportation, special diet and attendant charges. 3. I cannot accommodate that plea for, all the pecuniary heads of FAO No.2073 of 1999 -2- claim must be specifically pleaded and established. While certain conjecture is possible, a whole determination cannot be a matter of conjecture with such inadequate evidence placed by the Tribunal. I am afraid, I cannot make any improvement for the assessment which has already been made. 3. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. March 16, 2011 (K.KANNAN) Gulati JUDGE
