FAO No.6963 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.6963 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision. 22.03.2011 Master Arif Khan aged 13 years s/o Sh. Musharaf Hussain ......Appellant Versus Balbir Singh @ Sheena s/o Sh. Sarwan Singh and others .....Respondents Present: Mr. Ashwani Arora, Advocate for the appellant. CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. The appeal is for enhancement of claim for compensation for injury suffered by a boy aged 11. The doctor had given a certification that the fracture was united and there had been no limb length discrepancy. The left foot had been operated. 2. The Tribunal while assessing the compensation had provided for Rs.1,28,649/- for the medical expenses, Rs.5,000/- for special diet, Rs.3,000/- for travelling expenses and Rs.10,000/- towards inconvenience arising on account of disability with the mal joint reduction. The Tribunal had awarded Rs.15,000/- for loss of prospect of marriage, which I would believe to be actually for pain and suffering. It will be preposterous to believe that a fracture to a child aged 11 years could result in any loss of prospect of marriage. The assessment of Rs.5,000/- for special diet and Rs.3,000/- for travelling expenses are FAO No.6963 of 2010 (O&M) -2- also seen to be appropriate and just. The overall compensation of Rs.1,61,649/- would be seem just and appropriate and I will not find any reason to enhance the same. 3. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. (K.
