In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh F.A.O. No. 4666 of 2008 Date of decision: August 04, 2009 Atam Parkash .. Appellant Vs. Narender Kumar and others .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Sandeep Jasuja, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. D.K. Dogra, Advocate for the Insurance Company. A.N. Jindal, J This is an appeal against the award dated 6.2.2008 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Gurgaon, whereby, an award of Rs.85000/- was passed in favour of the claimant-appellant, who has suffered 15% permanent disability. The only grievance of the learned counsel for the appellant is that the compensation awarded is on the lower side and only a sum of Rs.16,000/- was awarded for disability and loss of income was also not properly assessed. The appellant remained confined to bed for one year but only Rs.12,000/- was awarded as loss of income. Having pondered over the argument, I find substance in it. The Tribunal should have awarded compensation to the tune of Rs.30,000/- on account of disability and Rs.22,000/- on account of loss of income. As such, the compensation amount deserves to be enhanced to Rs.26,000/- over and above the award amount along with interest as already awarded by the Tribunal. Ordered accordingly.
