It is stated that the claimant was himself responsible for the accident, therefore, he is not entitled to compensation, claim deserves to be rejected. While Insurance Company has stated that claimant was driving the scooter negligently resulting in the accident. He lost balance due to speed while moving in a slope and struck against Maruti car. Documents of spendings on medical treatment are not produced. Driver did not possess driving licence, therefore, claim be rejected.

The claimant is a renowned sportsman, secured various certificates from time to time in various fields of sports activities suffering disability of 40 percent would definitely harm his sports activities, future career and personality. Therefore, just compensation be awarded for the permanent disability, treatment, special diet, pain and suffering, transport, etc. Giving consideration to the whole matter, we find that the claimant is young man of 46 years, he is a good sportsman, large number of certificates placed on the record are testimony of his sports activities and awards obtained by him in various sports activities. Naturally, by this accident, he is going to be affected, since his left forearm has been fractured, it is nailed and screwed. In doctor's opinion it has stiffened, therefore, permanent disability has taken place. Dr. Saiyad Naeem Zahid (A.W. 3) places 40 percent disability while Dr. Mahesh Dixit (A W 4) places it as 27.3 percent. Fact remains that nature of injury caused to claimant is serious affecting his physical frame, enjoyment and participation in sports and social activities. Apart from this, he suffered injuries to head and back. Therefore, the compensation of Rs. 34,000/awarded in a case of this nature is grossly indequate. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed.
