FAO No.6095 of 2010 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.6095 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision:1.8.2011 Sinder Singh ...Appellant Versus Malak Singh and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr.Parminder Singh, Advocate, for the appellant. Mr.Sandeep Suri, Advocate, for the Insurance Company. -.- JITENDRA CHUAHAN, J. CM No.27329-CII of 2010 For the reasons mentioned in the application, the same is allowed. The delay of 118 days in filing the appeal is condoned. Main case The sole argument raised by the learned counsel for the appellant is that the compensation awarded by the learned Tribunal is on lower side. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file as well as impugned award. From the perusal of award, it is made out that the claimant suffered multiple injuries. He suffered permanent disability to the extent of 15%, which is evident from disability certificate, Exhibit P4. It is also made out that the appellant remained hospitalized for a period of 12 days. He suffered fracture of right femur and fracture of both bone right leg. During FAO No.6095 of 2010 (O&M) 2 that period, he suffered business loss also. As per the nature of injuries, the appellant was required repeated medical treatment, special diet and personal attention. It is also made out that the accident in question took place on 3.3.2007. Firstly the appellant was taken to CHC Nissing, and thereafter, was shifted to General Hospital, Karnal. Two operations were carried out. In view of the said facts, I feel that the compensation awarded against the heads `Pain & Suffering', `Transportation', Special Diet' and `Attendant' appears to be on a little lower side. No other point has been raised. The compensation under other heads is just and adequate. Keeping in view the age of the appellant, period of admission and nature of injuries, I deem it fit to enhance the awarded amount against the following heads as under:- Head Earlier awarded compensatin Enhanced compensation Pain and Suffering `5,000/- `20,000/- Transportation ` 5,000/- `10,000/- Special Diet `5,000/-` ``10,000/- Attendant Nil `5,000/- The enhanced amount of `30,000/- shall carry interest @6% per annum, which shall be calculated from the date of filing the present appeal till its payment, if the amount is not deposited within 45 days from the date of receipt of copy of this order. In view of the above, the present appeal is disposed of with the modification indicated above. 1.8.2011 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) MKS JUDGE
