FAO No.4661 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.4661 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision:26.7.2011 Surender Kumar ...Appellant Versus Radhey Sham and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr.Amit Singla, Advocate, for the appellant. Mr.Sandeep Suri, Advocate, for respondent Nos. 1 and 2. -.- JITENDRA CHUAHAN, J. CM No.19786-CII of 2010 For the reasons mentioned in the application, the same is allowed. The delay in filing the appeal is condoned. Main case The sole argument raised by the learned counsel for the appellant is that the compensation awarded by the learned Tribunal under the head `Transportation' and `Diet” is on lower side. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file as well as impugned award. From the perusal of award, it is made out that the claimant suffered multiple injuries including fractures of the left leg and right hand. He suffered permanent disability to the extent of 12%, which is evident FAO No.4661 of 2010 2 from disability certificate, Exhibit P.125. It is also made out that the accident in question took place on 21.7.2005. Firstly the appellant was taken to Pahwa Hospital, Fatehabad and thereafter was shifted to Sarvodaya Hospital, Hisar, from where he was shifted to Chawla Nursing Home, where he remained admitted till 28.8.2005. As per the nature of injuries, the appellant was required repeated medical treatment, extra diet, care and help. In view of the said facts, I feel that the compensation of `5,000/-awarded by the Tribunal on account of hospitalization, transportation and special diet appears to be inadequate. Considering all the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it fit to grant an additional lump sum amount of `20,000/- which would meet the ends of justice. Ordered accordingly. The claimant shall be entitled to interest @ 6% per annum on the enhanced compensation from the date of filing the present appeal till it is paid. 26.7.2011 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) MKS JUDGE
