FAO No. 633 of 1990 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH FAO No. 633 of 1990 Date of decision February 1, 2011 Sh. Jagdish Sharma Advocate ....... Appellants Versus Sh. Surender Singh and others ........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Salail Bali, Advocate for the appellants. Mr. Ravinder Arora, Advocate for the respondent No.4-Insurance Company. Mr. Kunal Garg, AAG., Haryana for respondent Nos.1 2,3 and 7. None for respondent Nos. 1,5 and 6. **** 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 compensation for injury suffered by a person who was a legal practitioner. The claimant had suffered injuries in his leg and hip and there had been restriction of movement of his limb and it was in evidence that he had been hospitalized for 60 days and he could not carry through his business for four months. The court had found the loss of income would have been `3,000/-, provided for `12,000/- as loss of income for four months, provided `30,000/- for medical expenses, `2,000/- for attendant charges and FAO No. 633 of 1990 2 `28,800/- for future loss of earning. The only error that I can find about the award is that it has not provided for pain and suffering for being hospitalized for three months with three fractures. I will provide `15,000/- towards pain and suffering. The liability shall be on the owner of the vehicle since the Insurance Company's liability had already been restricted to `15,000/-. The amount in excess of what has been determined by the Tribunal shall attract interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the date of petition till the date of payment. The appeal is allowed to the above extent. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE February 1, 2011 archana
