Hon'ble RAFIQ, J.—This appeal has been preferred by the injured-appellant dissatisfied with the quantum of compensation awarded by the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Jaipur dated 27.7.2011 whereby, the Tribunal awarded a sum of Rs.33,700/- as compensation. 2. Contention of the learned counsel for the appellant is that the learned Tribunal erred in law while deciding Issue No.4 contrary to the evidence on record. Learned Tribunal erred in law while not awarding any compensation against 13.06% permanent disability of the appellant and did not accept on that basis loss of income of the appellant. Learned Tribunal also awarded a lesser amount of compensation for the two grievous injuries sustained by the appellant and lesser amount of compensation has been awarded under the head of nutritious diet. The appeal therefore be allowed and the compensation be suitably enhanced. 3. Upon hearing learned counsel for the appellant and perusing the award, I find that the injured-appellant sustained seven injuries, out of which, five were simple and two were grievous in nature, which found proved according to the medical report (Exh.7) and x-ray report dated 29.3.2008 (Exh.8) and therefore the learned Tribunal rightly awarded Rs.15,000/- for the injuries aforesaid, which cannot be for any account said to be an unjustified amount of compensation looking to the nature of injuries sustained by him. Disability Certificate Exh.17 was also not specific as to on what count the permanent disability of 13.06% has been assessed by the S.K. Soni Hospital. Rather, Medical Board of the SMS Hospital, Jaipur assessed disability of the appellant at "0%". The Board in its report observed that S.K. Soni Hospital is not an authorised hospital to issue such disability certificate. Learned Tribunal therefore rightly so did not attach any credibility upon the disability certificate produced by the appellant issued by the said hospital, which otherwise was also contrary to the provisions of Section 142 of the Motor Vehicles Act 1988. Rightly so, learned Tribunal on that basis, did not accept the claim of the appellant towards loss of income for want of permanent disability of 13.06% being proved rather, "0%" disability found proved. In view of the fact that the appellant failed to produce the medical bills for the expenditure incurred on the medicines and examination reports, learned Tribunal rightly did not grant any compensation under the head of medical expenditure.
In view of the fact that the appellant failed to produce the medical bills for the expenditure incurred on the medicines and examination reports, learned Tribunal rightly did not grant any compensation under the head of medical expenditure. However, the learned Tribunal awarded Rs.5,000/- for transportation & nutritious diet. As the appellant is a driver on contract basis and at the relevant time, the minimum wages per day for such contract employee was Rs.200/- per day therefore, rightly so, learned Tribunal awarded Rs.6,000/- per month computing Rs.200/- per day towards the minimum wages. In my considered view, the learned Tribunal did not commit any error while awarding a total sum of Rs.33,700/- as compensation, which is perfectly justified in the light of the evidence available on record in an injury case. 4. The appeal has no merit and it is accordingly dismissed in limine.
