JUDGMENT KOSHY, J. The appellant met with a motor accident. As per the wound certificate, he had suffered only a lacerated wound and fractures of the left clavicle and fracture of the second rib. The tribunal awarded Rs.15,000/- for pain and suffering. He did not lose the job and no permanent disability certificate was produced. Therefore, for disability and loss of earning capacity, no amount was awarded. He was hospitalised only for 3 three days. He was granted Rs.3,000/- for loss of earning and for loss of amenities and inconvenience Rs.3,000/- was awarded. Total compensation awarded is Rs.30,500/-. We are of the opinion that just and reasonable compensation is awarded considering the nature of the injuries. Appeal, therefore, fails and it is accordingly dismissed.
