No.27370-CII of 2010 Application for restoration of appeal is allowed. FAO No.1 634 of 1999 1. The appeal is for enhancement of compensation for the injuries sustained in a motor accident. The claimant was said to have suffered injuries and he was removed to Bhiwani Hospital and later shifted to Gandhi Hospital at Panipat. He was said to have been admitted for 15 days. He claimed that he suffered head injury and he had spent a sum of Rs.10,000/15,000/-. The medical bills were filed as Ex.P114 to Ex.P117. He claimed that he remained out of job for numerous days and used to earn FAO No.1634 of 1999 (O&M) -2- Rs.3000/4000/- per month. The Tribunal found that he had not suffered any permanent disability and awarded a consolidated sum of Rs.15,000/- as compensation. This surely would be an unsatisfactory method for determining the compensation and for giving the same, compensation must be determined with reference to other parameters like loss of income, pain and suffering, medical expenses, transport, etc. If they failed to advert to them but details are available, I would have definitely made suitable correction of the award. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant is not able to produce anything better than re-reading what is said in para 14 of the award that is bereft of any details. 2. Appeal is dismissed.
