Hon'ble MIDHA, J.—The appellant has challenged the award of the learned Tribunal whereby compensation of Rs.45,000/- has been awar-ded to him. The appellant seeks enhancement of the award amount. 2. The accident dated 22nd November, 1996 resulted in compound fracture of both the bones of his left leg. 3. The learned Tribunal awarded Rs.20,000/- towards compensation for pain and suffering, Rs.15,000/- towards loss of wages, Rs.2,000/- towards medicines, Rs.3,000/- towards conveyance and Rs.5,000/- towards special diet. The total compensation awarded is Rs.45,000/-. 4. The learned counsel for the appellant has urged the following grounds at the time of hearing of this appeal:- (i) The compensation for pain and suffering be enhanced. (ii) The compensation be awarded for loss of amenities of life. (iii) The compensation be awarded for disfiguration. (iv) The compensation for loss of income be enhanced as the appellant remained without salary for one year. (v) The compensation for medical treatment be enhanced. (vi) The compensation for conveyance and special diet be also enhanced. (vii) The rate of interest be enhanced. 5. The appellant suffered six fractures in his left leg and he remained under treatment and out of job for one year. The compensation of Rs.20,000/- towards pain and suffering is on a very lower side. Considering that the appellant suffered six fractures and remained under treatment for one year, the compensation for pain and suffering is enhanced from Rs.20,000/- to Rs.50,000/-. The learned Tribunal has not awarded any compensation for loss of amenities of life. Rs.20,000/- is awarded for loss of amenities of life. The learned Tribunal has not awarded any compensation for disfiguration. Rs.8,000/- is awarded as compensation for disfiguration. 6. The learned Tribunal has awarded Rs.15,000/- for loss of wages for one year. The learned Tribunal took the minimum wages of Rs.1,677/- into consideration. The learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant was drawing a salary of Rs.3,500/- per month. There is no documentary evidence on record to prove that the employer did not pay wages to the appellant for a period of one year. In that view of that matter, no case of enhancement of loss of income is made out. The learned Tribunal has awarded Rs.2,000/- towards medical expenses. The appellant was treated in Government Hospital and the bills proved on record did not exceed Rs.2,000/- and, therefore, no case for enhancement of medical expenses is also made out. In that view of that matter, no case of enhancement of loss of income is made out. The learned Tribunal has awarded Rs.2,000/- towards medical expenses. The appellant was treated in Government Hospital and the bills proved on record did not exceed Rs.2,000/- and, therefore, no case for enhancement of medical expenses is also made out. The learned Tribunal has awarded Rs.3,000/- towards conveyance which is inappropriate considering that the appellant was under treatment for one year and had to visit the hospitals for which expenditure was incurred on conveyance. Even after the treatment, the appellant had to incur expenditure on conveyance due to the six fractures suffered by him. The compensation towards conveyance is, therefore, enhanced from Rs.3,000/- to Rs.10,000/-. The learned Tribunal has awarded Rs.5,000/- towards special diet which is fair and reasonable in the facts and circumstances of this case. 7. The appellant is entitled to total compensation of Rs.1,10,000/- as per the break-up given hereunder:- (i) Compensation for : Rs. 50,000/- pain and suffering (ii) Compensation for : Rs. 20,000/- loss of amenities of life (iii) Compensation for : Rs. 8,000/- disfiguration. (iv) Compensation for : Rs. 15,000/- loss of wages (v) Compensation for : Rs. 2,000/- medical expenses (vi) Compensation for : Rs. 10,000/- conveyance (vii) Compensation for : Rs. 5,000/- special diet Total : Rs. 1,10,000/- 8. The learned Tribunal has awarded interest @ 6% per annum. Following the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Dharampal vs. U.P. State Road Transport Corporation, III 2008 ACC (1) SC, the rate of interest is enhanced from 6% per annum to 7.5% per annum. 9. The appeal is allowed and the award amount is enhanced from Rs.45,000/- to Rs.1,10,000/- along with interest @ 7.5% per annum from the date of filing of the petition till realization. 10.
