SANGALAD, J. ( 1 ) MR. D. Vijayakumar, learned counsel for the appellant submits that for the amputation of 1/3rd middle finger of the right hand, the compensation awarded at Rs. 50,000 is on the higher side. ( 2 ) IT is pertinent to note that middle finger of any individual is very important. Even it is considered that it is a bad omen for such a man to participate in the religious function. In my opinion, the claimant will be suffering from many embarrassments and impediments in his life through out. If such thing happens to a bachelor, prospects of marriage will also be hampered. Perused the judgment and award. The tribunal has awarded little bit higher compensation towards medical expenses and the loss of future income. However, the total compensation awarded, in my opinion, appears to be just and reasonable. Hence, there are no compelling reasons to interfere with the judgment and award of the lower court. Hence, the appeal stands dismissed. Appeal dismissed. --- *** --- .
