FAO No.7274 of 2011(O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.7274 of 2011(O&M) DATE OF DECISION : August 30, 2012 Satyawan ...Appellant Versus Surender and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE M.JEYAPAUL Present Mr.Vikas Sharma, Advocate for the appellant. *** M.JEYAPAUL, J. The injured-claimant has challenged the quantum of compensation awarded by the Tribunal in the motor accident that took place on 08.07.2007. The appellant sustained multiple injuries on his arms, legs, elbow, back and head. PW3 Dr.Satish Sharma, who issued the disability certificate Ex.P78 has spoken to 8% disability suffered by the appellant. A sum of ` 16,000/- towards disability was allowed by the Tribunal. A sum of ` 35,000/- towards the bills produced for ` 35,708/- was allowed by the Tribunal. As he remained in hospital from 08.07.2007 to 24.07.2007, a sum of ` 8500/- at the rate of ` 500 per day was also awarded by the Tribunal. For pain and suffering a sum of ` 10,000/- was awarded. The learned counsel appearing for the appellant would submit that only a sum of ` 8500/- for the hospitalization of 17 long FAO No.7274 of 2011(O&M) 2 days by the appellant was awarded. It is his further submission that towards future treatment nothing was awarded. The Tribunal has very fairly awarded a sum of ` 8500/- at the rate of ` 500/- per day towards loss of income the appellant would have faced. Further there is no material evidence to show that the appellant has to take further treatment in future. In my considered view, the Tribunal has rightly awarded just compensation. I do no find any merit in the appeal. Therefore, the appeal stands dismissed. There is no order as to costs. (M.JEYAPAUL) JUDGE August 30, 2012 p.singh
