A youngster aged 22 met with a motor accident by which he suffered 19% permanent disability as certified in the medical certificate produced by him. Even though he claimed Rs.4,500/= as monthly income as a coolie, in the absence of any data and considering his age and other circumstances, Tribunal has taken Rs.2,000/= as the monthly income. 17 was taken as the multiplier and compensation was assessed.
