M.A.C.A. No.784 of 2005 .................................................................... Dated this the 1st day of September, 2008. JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. The appeal is filed for enhancement of compensation. Counsel for the Insurance Company vehemently opposed stating that handsome compensation is awarded under various heads. We find force in the contention of counsel for the Insurance Company that fairly good compensation is awarded under various heads. However, we find that the claim for expenses for future treatment calls for reconsideration. In order to take care of subsequent treatment claimed by the appellant, we grant an additional compensation of Rs.4,395/- to make the total compensation to Rs.60,000/-. The Insurance Company is directed to deposit the additional compensation with interest at 7.5% p.a. from date of application till date of deposit. The appeal is disposed of as above.
