JUSTICE RAJESH RAI K ORAL JUDGMENT 1. The claimant, being dissatisfied with the compensation of Rs.6,48,234/- 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. Loss of future income Nil 2. Pain and suffering 50,000 3. Medical expenses 4,68,234 4. Loss of amenities 25,000 5. Loss of income during laid up period 50,000 6. Food, nourishment and travel expenses 30,000 - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010513822022 NC: 2026:KHC:36616 MFA No. 7643 of 2022 7. Future medical expenses 25,000 Total 6,48,234 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.1,00,000/- as global compensation, in addition to what has been awarded by the Tribunal i.e., Rs.6,48,234/-. Thus, the claimant is held entitled to the total compensation of Rs.7,48,234/- as against Rs.6,48,234/-. However, no interest is awarded in respect of global compensation of Rs.1,00,000/-. 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 and as directed by the Tribunal, the same shall be recovered from the owner of the offending vehicle. - 5 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010513822022 NC: 2026:KHC:36616 MFA No. 7643 of 2022 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.: 27
