PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Haryana through Collector, Rohtak & others ..... RESPONDENT(S) . . . 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgement? No. 2. To be referred to the reporters or not ? No. 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest ? No. . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN . . . PRESENT: - Mr. S.P. Chahar, Advocate, for the appellant. . . . K. Kannan, J (Oral) 1. The appeal is for enhancement of compensation for injuries suffered in an accident. 2. Learned counsel states that against medical expenses incurred to the tune of ` 40,000/-, only a sum of ` 5,000/- has been awarded on account of the fact that original medical bills have not been filed. Learned counsel also states that no attendant charges have been FAO No.100 of 2012 [2] provided. For transportation, only ` 2,000/- were awarded. 3. There has been a consideration relating to the medical expenses by the Court below and the Court has specifically queried to as to why the appellant could not produce the original bills. If there had been any explanation given, it would have been possible to allow for enhanced compensation. In spite of the fact that Tribunal has dealt with the issue for want of reason for non-production of original bills in the right of objection taken at the trial by the respondent(s), no better information is available even now. I cannot therefore admit the appeal for high amount for medical expenses. Towards transportation also, if there were any definite evidence relating to the expenses incurred, it would have been possible to allow for higher sum. For want of better details, award of ` 2,000/- towards transportation cannot be faulted with. That would leave for consideration only the claim in regard to attendant's charges. Quantum of compensation is not required to re- appraised only for the same. Total compensation awarded is ` 1,22,000/-. 4. I find no reason to modify or alter the award. Consequently, the award is confirmed. The appeal is dismissed. (K. Kannan) July 19, 2012 Judge avin
