FAO No. 7139 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No. 7139 of 2011 Date of decision : 11.09.2012 Kallu @ Laxmi Narain ....Appellant V/s Dharam Chand Saini & ors. ....Respondents BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Ashish Gupta, Advocate for the appellant. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) Present appeal has been filed to impugn the award passed by the tribunal on the limited ground that compensation granted is on the lower side. Learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that medical bills which were produced by the claimants were not taken into account while granting compensation. Same show that appellant incurred considerable expense in undergoing treatment after he suffered injuries. I have heard learned counsel for the appellant. A claim was lodged by injured-appellant stating that on 23.09.2008, he was coming to Ferozepur Jhirka on a motorcycle being driven by his nephew. When he reached near the SDM residence, an accident occurred. He fell down and sustained certain injuries including a fracture. Tribunal came to the conclusion that accident was caused due to rash and negligent driving by driver of the offending vehicle. It granted total compensation of `1,85,300/- FAO No. 7139 of 2011 2 to the appellant. In my considered view, adequate compensation has been granted after taking into account all the factors. Medical bills which were exhibited on record were taken into consideration. However, those which were not proved and were simply marked were ignored from consideration. I find no infirmity with the approach adopted by the tribunal. It, however, appears that appellant had to get treatment from hospital at Jaipur and also from Alwar. Keeping in view the fact that appellant may have travelled to and fro number of times, he is entitled to adequate compensation as transportation charges. He would, thus, be entitled to another `10,000/- on this account. As award has been upheld and only transportation charges have been enhanced, this court has deemed it fit to dispose of the appeal without issuance of notice to insurance company.
