JUSTICE RAJESH RAI K ORAL JUDGMENT 1. The claimant, being dissatisfied with the global compensation of Rs.80,000/- awarded by the Tribunal vide judgment and award dated 12.04.2022 passed in MVC No.11/2020, is in appeal. 2. The fact that the accident occurred and the further fact that the offending vehicle belonged to respondent – KSRTC are not in dispute. 3. The Tribunal, on assessment of evidence, particularly i.e., Exs.P1 to 11, has awarded a sum of Rs.80,000/- globally. 4. Having regard to the nature, gravity and the lasting effects of the injuries suffered by the claimant, I deem it just and appropriate to award a sum of Rs.25,000/- as global compensation, in addition to what has been awarded by the Tribunal i.e., Rs.80,000/-. Thus, the claimant is held entitled to the total compensation of Rs.1,05,000/- as against - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010311582022 NC: 2026:KHC:36777 MFA No. 4960 of 2022 Rs.80,000/-. However, no interest is awarded in respect of global compensation of Rs.25,000/-. 5. The KSRTC 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 PKS List No.: 1 Sl No.: 55
