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.1,90,600/- 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 sufferings 45,000 2. Attendant, food and nourishment and transportation 25,000 - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010252882021 NC: 2026:KHC:42978 MFA No. 3202 of 2021 3. Loss of income during laid up period 15,000 4. Loss of future income 75,600 5. Loss of amenities 30,000 Total 1,90,600 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.50,000/- as global compensation, in addition to what has been awarded by the Tribunal i.e., Rs.1,90,600/-. Thus, the claimant is held entitled to the total compensation of Rs.2,40,600/- as against Rs.1,90,600/-. However, no interest is awarded in respect of global compensation of Rs.50,000/-. 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. - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010252882021 NC: 2026:KHC:42978 MFA No. 3202 of 2021 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.: 26
