In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh F.A.O. No.607 of 2009 Date of decision: October 26, 2009 Sita Ram .. Appellant Vs. Ishwar Singh and others .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Jagdish Manchanda, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Pradeep Goyal, Advocate for the respondent No.3. A.N. Jindal, J Challenge has been made to the award dated 16.10.2008 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Kurukshetra, (herein referred as 'the Tribunal') awarding compensation to the tune of Rs.1,25,000/- on account of the injuries suffered by him in a motor vehicular accident. Neither the negligence nor the liability has been disputed by the respondents. However, the claimant has sought enhancement of the compensation. The Tribunal has observed that the claimant is entitled to a sum of Rs.24,690/- on account of the amount spent on treatment; Rs.20,000/- on account of further major surgery and the remaining amount was given on account of expenses on treatment, loss of income, pain and sufferings and loss of future earning. But, it has awarded nothing to the claimant on account of permanent disability suffered by him. Consequently, the amount already awarded by the Tribunal requires enhancement. In the circumstances, I partly accept the appeal, modify the F.A.O. No.607 of 2009 -2- *** impugned award and enhance the compensation to the tune of Rs.80,000/- to be paid to the claimants over and above the award amount on account of 40% permanent disability suffered by him. This amount will also carry interest at the same rate as awarded by the Tribunal. October 26, 2009 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
