The first submission is that the - 2 - fa1440 compensation of Rs.1,20,000/- is on the lower side. Second submission is that as a result of disability, the appellant has lost chances of employment and therefore, there was a prayer made for grant of employment in Railways and the said prayer has not been considered by the Tribunal. 2. I have given careful consideration to the submissions. The injury certificate produced by the appellant records that the appellant has suffered 30% blindness of his left eye. The Tribunal, therefore, held that the case will be governed by Item 27 of Schedule III to the Railways Untoward Incident (Compensation) Rules, 1990 3. The claim was under section 124 A of the said Act on the ground of untoward incident. Compensation payable in a claim under section 124 A is in terms of said - 3 - fa1440 Rules of 1990. The compensation has been accordingly granted. There is no error in the quantum of compensation. 4. As far as the prayer for grant of employment on compassionate ground is concerned, it is for the appellant to adopt appropriate remedy in that behalf and such a relief could not have been granted in the Claim Petition under section 124 A of the said Act. Subject to what is observed above, there is no merit in the appeal. The same is dismissed. A.S.Oka, J - 4 - fa1440
