Case: Kantharaju Vs. Manager, Cholamandalam General Insurance Company Limited &amp; Another

2. This is a case wherein the claimant is an agriculture labourer who suffered injuries in a road accident and he has been awarded Rs.10,000/under the head ?Loss of amenities?.

Court's reasoning:
3. On the perusal of the impugned judgment we find that the claimant had suffered compound fracture of right leg patella and in our opinion amount of Rs.10,000/awarded for the ?loss of amenities? appears to be on lower side.4. We increase the same to Rs.35,000/which, in our opinion, is quite reasonable looking at the fact that he is an agriculture labourer and he has to use his legs for doing daily work in the fields.5. The award and the impugned judgment stand modified to the effect that an increased sum of Rs.25,000/will be awarded to the appellant.
