Judgment : 1. The above appeal is filed by the Transport Corporation questioning the quantum fixed by the tribunal. 2. In the present case, the tribunal without applying its mind accepted the Doctor’s Certificate, who gave the disability certificate, which is marked as Ex.P7 stating that the claimant has sustained 25% of permanent disability. Such certificate is given by P.W.2 after three years from the date of accident. The claimant sustained only simple injury namely scratches on the body. The claimant was not even admitted in the hospital. He took treatment only as an out-patient from 10.12.1995 to 15.12.1995. We ar e unable to understand as to how the tribunal has awarded a sum of Rs.12,500 as if the claimant has sustained certain disability and thereby he lost his capacity to earn his income. 3. The tribunal also awarded a sum of Rs.4,000 towards pain and suffering, which is also on the higher side, taking into consideration of the nature of injury. The tribunal also wrongly awarded another Rs.2,000 towards loss of income during the treatment period. These amounts have been awarded for mere asking and not related to the injuries sustained by the claimant. Both the tribunal has not applied its mind while awarding compensation on the basis of the nature of injuries as mentioned in Ex.P3. Even for the simple injury, namely, scratches on the body, the Doctor gave a certificate as if the claimant has sustained permanent disability, which unfortunately was also accepted by the tribunal. The compensation fixed by the tribunal duly establishes the non-application of mind. Though, we are inclined to fix the compensation only Rs.5,000, it is now stated that the claimant was permitted to withdraw 50% of the amount with accrued interest pursuant to the interim order dated 15.3.2000, we set aside the award passed by tribunal to the extent of 50% of the compensation fixed by the tribunal and the Corporation is entitled to withdraw the balance amount with accrued interest. 4. With the above observation, the appeal is allowed in part. No costs.
