THIS APPEAL, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:26492 MFA No. 1669 of 2022 CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH RAI K ORAL JUDGMENT 1. The claimant, being dissatisfied with the compensation of Rs.92,000/- 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. The Tribunal, on assessment of evidence, has awarded the following sums as compensation: Sl. No. Particulars Amount in (Rs.) 1. Pain and sufferings 15,000 2. Medical expenses 54,000 3. Loss of income during the laid up period 12,000 4. Conveyance, food, nourishment, attendant charges 6,000 5. Loss of future amenities and happiness 5,000 Total 92,000 - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:26492 MFA No. 1669 of 2022 4. 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.30,000/- as a global compensation, in addition to what has been awarded by the Tribunal i.e., Rs.92,000/-. Thus, the claimant is held entitled to the total compensation of Rs.1,22,000/- as against Rs.92,000/-, along with interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the date of petition till its realization. 5. The Insurance Company is directed to deposit the amount of additional compensation awarded within six weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. 6. 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 GPG/List No.: 1 Sl No.: 32
