Agrawal Judgment On Board 25.07.2025 1. The Insurance Company has filed this appeal, questioning the quantum of compensation awarded to the claimant. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant/insurance company submits that though the learned tribunal in para 22 of the award has held that the claimant/respondent No.1 has not sustained permanent injuries but yet proceeded to award the compensation amount on higher side to the tune of Rs.3,96,172/- , which is liable to be set aside. 3. Heard on the question of admission. 4. The learned tribunal has clearly recorded a finding that the claimant remained hospitalized for five to six months and proceeded to award compensation for treatment, hospitalization and medicines – Rs.30,000/-, for transportation – Rs.30,000/-, for nourishing food – Rs.20,000/-, for miscellaneous expenditure – Rs.20,000/-, for loss of earnings during said period of treatment – Rs.61,516/-, for future medical expenses – Rs.50,000/-, for damages for pain – Rs.30,000/-, for suffering – Rs.50,000/-, for trauma as a consequence of the injuries – 3 (MAC No. 937 of 2022) Rs.50,000/-, for loss of amenities including loss of expectation of healthy life – Rs.50,000/- and for medical bills proved before tribunal – R6s.4,656/-. As such, the learned tribunal has clearly recorded the finding that the claimant remained hospitalized for a very long time and accordingly, the quantum of compensation has been awarded. 5. In that view of the matter, I do not find any merit in this appeal, it deserves to be and is accordingly, dismissed. Sd/- (Sanjay K. Agrawal) Judge @d!t!
