Hon'ble GUPTA, J.—This appeal has been filed under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act for enhancement of compensation against the award dated 3.7.2000 passed in MAC No. 351/1994 by which a sum of Rs. 78,500/- has been awarded to the claimant-appellant. 2. The present appellant filed a claim petition for the injuries sustained by him in a motor accident occurred on 31.1.1994. The brief facts of the claim petition are that on 31.1.1994, the claimant-appellant was going on Scooter No. RJ-14-1M-0430 from Jotwara to Chandpole. When he reached near Jotwara Post Office, a mini bus bearing No. RNB 3873 being driven by respondent No. 1 Mahendra Singh rashly and negligently, hit his scooter and the present appellant fell down and sustained serious injuries. 3. The contention of the present appellant is that at the time of accident, he was about 15 years of age and he was the student of Class X and due to accident he sustained serious injuries- fractures on the wrist and fingers of left hand and there was also injury on the right elbow of the claimant. It was stated that the movement of the fingers and the wrist of left hand has been restricted. He cannot keep his left hand straight for long time and cannot left the weight or cannot hold things with this hand. According to the opinion of the medical board, the permanent disablement of 24.5% has been occurred but the learned Tribunal has not assessed these injuries properly and in the head of permanent disablement, mental agony and physical pain, less compensation has been awarded and hence this appeal. 4. The learned Tribunal has considered the material on record and while deciding issue No. 4 Rs. 24,000/- has been awarded for permanent disablement, which is 24.5% and as the complainant was of only 15 years of age at the time of accident and hence chances of improvement were fair and in Ex. 36- Permanent Disability Certificate, it was not mentioned that movement of fingers and wrist of left hand has been restricted or any problem occurs in lifting the weight. Doctor's statement seems to be given out of generosity. The Tribunal also ascertained the future effects of permanent disablement and pain & agony and has also awarded compensation in this head. The compensation awarded is just, proper and adequate. Hence, there is no reason to interfere with the award impugned.
