IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR. S.B.CIVIL MISC. APPEAL No.1809/2000 Puran Singh vs. Mahendra & Ors. 06.08.2009 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE G.S. SARRAF Mr.Dharmendra Agarwal and Mr.L.L. Gupta, for the appellant. Mr.Rajpal Choudhary, for the respondent no.3. It is not necessary to narrate the facts of the case as the short controversy is that whether the compensation awarded by the Tribunal in this case is fair and adequate. The claimant appellant met an accident on 23.4.1999 and suffered as many as six injuries out of which two injuries – one fracture in right tibia bone and the other fractures of fifth, sixth and seventh rib -were grievous. As per the disability certificates Ex.P5 & P6, the claimant appellant suffered 40% permanent disability. Learned Tribunal has awarded Rs.80,000/- for the injuries, Rs.2200/- for medical expenses etc. and Rs.22,000/- for damage to the motorcycle. Thus a total compensation to the tune of Rs.1,04,200/- has been awarded. Heard learned counsels for the parties. Learned counsel for the claimant appellant has submitted that looking to the 40% disability suffered by the claimant appellant the amount of compensation is grossly inadequate and it should be enhanced suitably. Interestingly there are two disability certificates. Ex.P6 has been issued on 7.8.1999 whereas Ex.5 has been issued on 27.5.2000. In both the certificates the disability has been shown to be 40%. It is not clear why a need arose to get a second certificate. No doctor has been examined and it is not clear from the two certificates that what exactly is the disability. The certificates appear to have been issued in a slip shod manner. Still learned Tribunal has been generous in awarding the compensation amount. Considering all the facts and circumstances of the matter as also the evidence available on the record I am of the opinion that the amount of compensation awarded by learned Tribunal is fair and adequate and there is no ground for any interference. Consequently, the appeal stands dismissed. (G.S. SARRAF), J. Sanjay s/21
