No. 2068 OF 2006 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair,J. Heard counsel for the appellant and standing counsel appearing for the insurance company. We have also gone through the award granting compensation to the appellant. Since the appellant has sustained fracture of the bone system between ankel and the toes, we feel compensation needs to be enhanced. Since he was in the hospital as inpatient only for two days, no permanent disability is caused to the appellant. We therefore enhance the compensation by Rs. 5,000/- which will carry interest at the rate of 7.5 per cent per annum from the date of application till date of payment. Appeal stands allowed as above.
