Aggrieved by the award in O.P.(MV)No.1234/96 on the file of the Additional Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Alappuzha, the appellant herein preferred this appeal. The question is to whether compensation awarded by the Tribunal is just and proper. 2. Tribunal awarded an amount of Rs.6,000/- for loss of earning for the period under treatment and recovery. He was hospitalised for 42 days. Therefore, we are inclined to grant an additional amount of Rs.6,000/- on that head. For pain and suffering, Tribunal awarded an amount of Rs.10,000/-. Considering the entire aspects of the case, we are of the view that the claimant is entitled to get an additional amount of Rs.10,000/- on that head. Thus altogether Rs.16,000/- is M.F.A.No.294 OF 2001 :: 2 :: awarded as additional compensation with interest at 7.5% from the date of the petition till payment. MFA is disposed of as above.
