The appeal is for enhancement of compensation for injury suffered in an accident to a Police Constable, aged 35 years. The Doctor found on account of the injury suffered, a fracture of hip with foot drop. The Doctor had opined that the assessment of 12% was on account of restriction of movement, which according to him could improve by physiotherapy and medications. The Tribunal had assessed Rs.18,125/- for 70 days loss of income, Rs.10,000/- towards the medical expenses and for 12% disability it had granted Rs.6000/- which I would understand as FAO No.601 of 2005(O&M) -2- meaning the inconvenience and the loss of amenities suffered. The Tribunal has awarded Rs.6000/-, I would further add Rs.7500/- for the pain and suffering of the fracture suffered and provide further provision of another Rs.5000/- towards local expenditure for physiotherapy and medicines. I will, therefore, award an additional payment of Rs.12,500/- which shall also attract interest @ 6% from the date of petition till the payment. 2. The appeal is allowed to the above extent.
