Respondent(s) For Appellant (s) : Shri Rakesh Thakur, Advocate For Respondent No.3 : Shri Qamrul Aziz, Advocate ({Hon’ble Shri Justice Sachin Singh Rajput}) Order on Board 12/09/2025 Challenge in this appeal is to an award dated 21/02/2019 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Rajnandgaon, (CG) in Claim Case No.16/2018 2 by which vide impugned award, against a claim of Rs.26,05,877/-, learned Tribunal has awarded compensation of Rs.14,42,378/-. 2. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that though no permanent disability has been caused to the appellant however, he remained admitted in the hospital for more than 2½ months. She received multiple injuries, therefore she must have caused great mental trauma and physical pain. It is submitted that though the bills which have been submitted before the Claims Tribunal have been duly considered and awarded, however, under all other admissible heads, only Rs.50,000/- has been awarded. Therefore, the compensation may be enhanced suitably on all other admissible heads. 3. Learned counsel for the insurance company supported the impugned award and submits that no doctor was examined therefore just compensation has been awarded. 4. Be that as it may, after hearing learned counsel for the parties, looking to the injuries sustained and period of hospitalization, this Court is inclined to award an additional amount of Rs.75,000/- in favour of the appellant / claimant in addition to the amount already awarded. Respondent No.3 shall pay the amount of Rs.75,000/- within a period of 60 days with 6% interest from the date of claim application. The appeal is allowed in part.
