In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh F.A.O. No. 3458 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: November 06, 2009 Tisha Verma .. Appellant Vs. Parveen Kumar and others .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Ashok Jindal, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Pardeep Goyal, Advocate for the respondent No.3. A.N. Jindal, J Notice of motion. On the asking of the court, Mr. Pardeep Goyal, Advocate accepts notice on behalf of the Insurance Company-respondent No.3. Service of the remaining respondents is dispensed with. This appeal for enhancement is directed against the award dated 5.3.2009 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Bathinda, awarding compensation to the tune of Rs.53448/- along with interest @ 8% per annum in favour of the claimant-appellant (herein referred as 'the appellant') for the injuries suffered by her during the accident. Arguments heard. It has been stated that the claimant had suffered injuries on the head and other parts of her body. Palwinder Singh (CW1) of Omega Diagnostic Centre, Bathinda proved the C.T. Scan report and testified that he charged Rs.1500/- on that account. Dr. Vijay Shankar Jha, of Jha Neuro and Dental Centre (CW2) proved that he had checked the claimant in OPD on account of head injury. He proved the prescriptions Ex.C2 to C-4 and FAO No. 3458 of 2009 -2- *** stated that he charged Rs.150/- for the first visit and Rs.100/- for the subsequent visits. Dr. Karamjit Singh of M.M. Medical College & Hospital, Maulana (Ambala) proved the MLR of the injured showing simple injuries. The admission file Ex.AW5/A shows that patient was unconscious at the time of admission and was vomiting. CT Scan of the head was prescribed. It is not the case of permanent disability, however, keeping in view the fact that the injured was 5 years old and suffered injuries on the very sensitive part of her body, the Tribunal appears to have awarded meager amount of compensation. However, learned counsel for the appellant has offered to settle the appeal if it is enhanced by Rs.10,000/- over and above the award amount to which the counsel for respondent No.3 has also consented. Consequently, the appeal is partly allowed, the award is modified and the claimants would be entitled to receive a sum of Rs.10,000/- over and above the award amount which would be deposited by the company within 45 days from the date of receipt of copy of this order failing which the appellant would be entitled to recover the same along with interest at the same as awarded by the Tribunal.
