This appeal under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 has been preferred by the appellant/claimant seeking enhancement of compensation, challenging the impugned award dated 03/12/2018 (Annexure A/1) passed by learned 7th Additional Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Durg in Claim Case No. 0000379/2017 whereby compensation of Rs. 1,69,000/- has been awarded in favour of the appellant/claimant for the injuries suffered by him. 3 2. Learned counsel for the appellant/claimant would submit that the compensation awarded by the Claims Tribunal is grossly inadequate and deserves to be enhanced considering the injuries suffered by the appellant and the treatment undergone by him accordingly. 3. Learned counsel for respondent No. 3 would support the impugned award and submit that the compensation awarded by the Claims Tribunal is just and proper and does not warrant any interference by this Court. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties, considered their rival submissions made herein-above and went through the record with utmost circumspection. 5. A careful perusal of the record would show that on account of the accident, the appellant/claimant suffered injuries on his right hand and eye. Thus, considering the nature of injuries suffered by the appellant/claimant as well as other facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is calculating the compensation as stated below :- 4 Heads of Compensation Compensation awarded by the Tribunal Compensation awarded by this Court For Loss of income Rs. 60,000/- Rs. 90,000/- Medical Bills Rs. 69,500/- Rs. 69,500/- Pain and Suffering Rs. 10,000/- Rs. 45,000/- Special Diet Rs. 7,000/- Rs. 30,000/- Attendant’s fee Rs. 7,000/- Rs. 30,000/- Transportation Rs. 2,500/- Rs. 15,000/- Future Medical Treatment Rs. 10,000/- Rs. 25,000/- Total Rs. 1,69,000/- Rs. 3,04,500/- 7.
