THIS APPEAL, COMING ON FOR FINAL HEARING, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH RAI K ORAL JUDGMENT 1. The claimant, being dissatisfied with the compensation of Rs.25,000/- awarded by the Tribunal, is in appeal. 2. The fact that the accident occurred and the further fact that the offending vehicle was insured is not in dispute. - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:26930 MFA No. 4765 of 2021 3. Having regard to the nature, gravity and the lasting effects of the injuries suffered by the claimant, I deem it appropriate that instead of enhancing the sum under each head, it would be just and appropriate to award additional compensation of Rs.25,000/- as global compensation, in addition to what has been awarded by the Tribunal i.e., Rs.25,000/-. Thus, the claimant is held entitled to the total compensation of Rs.50,000/- as against Rs.25,000/-. However, no interest is awarded in respect of global compensation of Rs.25,000/-. 4. Respondent Nos.2 and 4-Insurance Company are directed to deposit the amount of additional compensation awarded equally within six weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. 5. Accordingly, in modification of the impugned judgment and award of the Tribunal to the above extent, the appeal is partly allowed. SD/- (RAJESH RAI K) JUDGE HKV/List No.: 1 Sl No.: 52
