The learned counsel for respondent transport corporation raised strong objections stating that the tribunal rightly assessed the disability and passed the award under other heads, which needs no interference. 8. On perusal of award passed by the Tribunal below, the fact reveals that at the time of accident, the claimant was working as driver in Corborndum Universal Ltd. So, the loss of income was fixed as two months. Furthermore, the tribunal has awarded a sum of Rs.5000/- per percentage of disability. By relying the discharge summary, the learned counsel for respondent would submit that only 68 days, he is in hospital, but however on seeing the grievous injury, this Court is inclined to enhance the loss of income as six months. The accident was happened in the year 2018 and he was aged about 24 years. Therefore, on considering the cost of living, this Court is inclined to enhance the notional income from Rs.11,000/- per month to Rs.15,000/- per month. Considering the 30% of permanent disability, this court is inclined to enhance the sum awarded as Rs.5000/- per percentage to Rs.7000/- per percentage. On seeing the facts, he has undergone surgeries during the treatment period and also took treatment for 63 days in various hospitals. Hence, for the pain and sufferings, the sum awarded as Rs.25,000/- is enhanced to Rs.50,000/-. As he is in need of more nourishment, the nutrition expenses awarded as Rs.10,000/- is enhanced as Rs.20,000/-. Furthermore, his cloths would have been damaged in the accident. Hence, a sum of Rs.2000/- fixed for damages to cloths is enhanced to Rs.5000/-.

Disability/loss of earning during the treatment period (30% x Rs. 7000 = Rs. 2,10,000/-) / (Rs. 15,000 x 6 = Rs. 90,000/-) 3,00,000 2. Medical expenses 1,184 3. Pain and sufferings 50,000 4. Transportation expenses 10,000 5. Nutrition expenses 20,000 6. Damages to cloths 5,000 7. Attender charges 24,000 8. Disability/loss of earning during the treatment period (30% x Rs. 7000 = Rs. 2,10,000/-) / (Rs. 15,000 x 6 = Rs. 90,000/-) 3,00,000 2. Medical expenses 1,184 3. Pain and sufferings 50,000 4.
