FAO No.2769 of 1999 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.2769 of 1999 Date of Decision.16.12.2010 Balak Ram son of Shri Baru Ram resident of village Gonder, District Karnal. ......Appellant Versus Ranbir Singh son of Kapoor Singh caste Jat and others ......Respondents Present: Mr. J.S. Virk, Advocate for the appellant. None for respondent No.1. Mr. Kunal Garg, AAG, Haryana for respondent Nos.2 and 3. CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 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 a person, who had suffered fracture of his leg and whose disability was assessed at 60%. The Tribunal had awarded towards cost of medicines Rs.15,000/-, Rs.5,000/- for special diet, Rs.10,000/- for pain and suffering and provided Rs.60,000/- for loss of earning capacity. The period of treatment for the claimant was from 27.10.1997 to 03.11.1997. I am of the view that there should be very slight increase for pain and suffering, which is again subjective but the award of compensation as loss of earning capacity at Rs.60,000/- seems more than adequate. On an overall consideration, Rs.95,000/- FAO No.2769 of 1999 -2- awarded by the Tribunal is appropriate and there is no justification for enhancement of claim in appeal. 2. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE December 16, 2010 Pankaj*
