SENIOR CIVIL JUDGE, MACT, BELTHANGADY, PARTLY ALLOWING THE CLAIM PETITION FOR COMPENSATION AND SEEKING ENHANCEMENT OF COMPENSATION. THIS APPEAL, COMING ON FOR ADMISSION, 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.35,286/- 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 agony 25,000 2. attendant charges 400 3. Medical expenses 9,886 Total 35,286 - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:34201 MFA No. 6091 of 2021 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.25,000/- as global compensation, in addition to what has been awarded by the Tribunal i.e., Rs.35,286/-. Thus, the claimant is held entitled to the total compensation of Rs.60,286/- as against Rs.35,286/-. However, no interest is awarded in respect of global compensation of Rs.25,000/-. 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 HKV List No.: 1 Sl No.: 45
