THIS APPEAL, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, 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.12,60,000/- 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:35845 MFA No. 7088 of 2022 3. The Tribunal, on assessment of evidence, has awarded the following sums as compensation: Sl. No. Particulars Amount in (Rs.) 1. Towards pain, shock and sufferings along with discomfort and inconvenience 2,00,000 2. Towards medical expenses 3,40,000 3. Towards future medical expenses 35,000 4. Towards food, nourishment, attendant, conveyance 68,000 5. Loss of earning during convalescent period 25,000 6. Towards loss of amenities 50,000 7. Towards permanent disability 5,40,000 Total 12,58,000 Rounded off to 12,60,000 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 - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:35845 MFA No. 7088 of 2022 addition to what has been awarded by the Tribunal i.e., Rs.12,60,000/-. Thus, the claimant is held entitled to the total compensation of Rs.12,85,000/- as against Rs.12,60,000/-. 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 CR List No.: 1 Sl No.: 29
