This appeal coming on for orders this day, the court delivered the following: JUDGMENT This appeal is directed against the judgment and award dated 21 January 2011 in MVC. Noi72!2006 passed by the Fast Track CourN, Dharwad, 2. The grievance of the appellant is the inadequacy of compensation awarded by the Tribunal. In a motor accident, the appellant sustained a lacerated wound and deformily of right leg. In support of this contention, a doctor is examined and certain medical bills are prod••uced, Admittedly, the a.ppellant is a governrr.ent servant and she has claimed medical reimbursement from the. Insurance Company. Further, no concrete e’.ñdence is produced to show that what is the disability that the petitioner has suffered. On the other hand, it :3: is seen from the record that the appellant is continued in service and she has also secured an increment after the accident. In the circumstances, the Tribunal had only granted a global compensation of Rs.50,000/-. However, having regard to the pain and suffering and the inconvenience that she has undergone, I am of the opinion that grant of another sum of Rs. 10,000/- will meet the ends of justice. Accordingly, the following order ORDER Appeal is partly allowed. The impugned award dated 21.01.2011 passed in M.V.C. No.172/2006 Is hereby modified enhancing total global compensatIon from Rs.50,000/- to Rs.60,000/-. -. Sd! JUDGE Kms
