Petitioner claimed Rs.30,000/- as loss of earning. But no evidence has been adduced to show that he was on loss of pay. Therefore, Tribunal awarded Rs.2,000/- for loss of earning. Learned counsel submitted that he was on medical leave from 17.10.04 to 31.5.05. Tribunal awarded a total compensation of Rs.40,500/-. Considering the entire facts and circumstances, we find that the Tribunal awarded reasonable compensation amount. We find no reason to interfere with the award passed by the Tribunal. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. K.S.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE jes
