In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh F.A.O. No. 11 of 2007 Date of decision: November 19, 2009 Nirbhay Singh .. Appellant Vs. Ram Phal and another .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. R.C. Gupta, Advocate for Mr. Inderjit Singh, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Banni Thomas, Advocate for the Insurance Company. A.N. Jindal, J This appeal for enhancement is directed against the award dated 22.2.2006 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Ambala awarding compensation to the tune of Rs.83859/- along with interest @ 6% per annum in favour of the claimant-appellant. The Tribunal has awarded only a sum of Rs.50,000/- on account of disability to the extent of 20% which the injured suffered. It has also not awarded anything though he has undergone two surgical operations. Nothing was paid on account of transportation, attendant and special diet. The injured remained admitted in the hospital from 16.6.2003 to12.7.2003. A lot of money must have been spent on transportation, attendant and special diet. Keeping in view the gravity of the injuries and the expenses which he must have spent on account of two surgical operations and the disability, as such a lump sum amount of Rs.50,000/- needs to be enhanced. Consequently, the appeal is partly allowed and the award is modified. Now the claimant would be entitled to receive a sum of Rs.50,000/- over and above the award amount which would be paid by the Insurance Company within 45 days from the date of receipt of copy of the order failing which the claimant would be entitled to receive interest at the same rate as awarded by the Tribunal.
