FAO No.3058 of 2010 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.3058 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision:26.7.2011 Gobind Ram ...Appellant Versus Dilbagh Singh and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr.Amit Singla, Advocate, for the appellant. Mr.Gautam Bhardwaj, Advocate for Mr.N.K.Khosla, Advocate, for respondent Nos. 1 and 2. Mr.Vinod Gupta, Advocate, for respondent No.3. -.- JITENDRA CHUAHAN, J. CM No.4909-CII of 2010 For the reasons mentioned in the application, the same is allowed. The delay of 43 days in filing the appeal is condoned. Main case. The sole argument raised by the learned counsel for the appellant is that the compensation awarded by the learned Tribunal is on lower side. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file as well as impugned award. From the perusal of award, it is made out that the claimant FAO No.3058 of 2010 (O&M) 2 suffered multiple injuries. He suffered permanent disability to the extent of 30%, which is evident from disability certificate, Exhibit P1. It is also made out that the appellant remained hospitalized for 88 days. As per the nature of injuries, the appellant was required repeated medical treatment, special diet and personal attention. In view of the said facts, I feel that the compensation awarded by the Tribunal as `20,000/- on account of pain and suffering, special diet, and future treatment etc. is not reasonable and adequate. Keeping in view the age of the appellant, period of admission nature of injuries and extent of disability, I deem it appropriate to grant an additional amount of `30,000/- against the heads `Pain and Suffering', `Special Diet' and future treatment and `5,000/- against the heads `Transportation' and `Attendant', which would meet the ends of justice. The enhanced amount of ` 35,000/- shall carry interest @6% per annum, which shall be calculated from the date of filing the present appeal till it is made. 26.7.2011 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) MKS JUDGE
