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 11.2.2000 passed in MAC No. 660/1996. 2. The facts narrated in the claim petition are that 7.12.1995, at about 12-12.30 PM, the present appellant was going on in rickshaw and when he reached near Puri Hotel, Opposite Ghat Gate, a mini bus No. RJ-14P-2606, being given driven by Tolaram- respondent No. 1, hit him. The learned Tribunal awarded an amount of Rs. 1,01,222/- a compensation. 3. The contention of the present appellant is that at the time of accident he was aged 32 years and he was running a shop selling meat. He was operated twice and received 50 stitches and remained hospitalized for 2-1/2 months and still he has disabilities. According to the medical board, he is having 27% permanent disablement and his parietal bone has been depressed in length of 3 inches but the learned Tribunal has not assessed implication of his injuries rightly. 4. It has been submitted that a lump-sum amount has been awarded for permanent disability of a grave nature and only a meager amount of Rs. 27,000/- has been awarded. It has also been submitted that the multiplier method should have been applied. 5. There is no doubt about it that in calculating the compensation, the scientific method of calculating the compensation is multiplier system. It has been stated by the appellant himself that he was earning Rs. 2,500-3,000/- per month but due to this injury, now he is unable to work and he has to vacate his shop and now he is earning only Rs. 800-1,000/- per month. 6. It is not in dispute that he is having 27% permanent disability and his age was 45-50 years on the date of accident. Hence, applying the multiplier system, the compensation comes to Rs. 2,500 x 12 x 13 = 3,90,000 x 27% = Rs. 1,05,300/-. 7. Out of this, an amount of Rs. 6,000/- has been given for the injuries received by the appellant and Rs. 27,000/- has been awarded in the head of permanent disability and further Rs. 27,000/- has been awarded for the discomfort, which has been caused due to the injuries and also Rs. 20,000/- for the loss of income.
1,05,300/-. 7. Out of this, an amount of Rs. 6,000/- has been given for the injuries received by the appellant and Rs. 27,000/- has been awarded in the head of permanent disability and further Rs. 27,000/- has been awarded for the discomfort, which has been caused due to the injuries and also Rs. 20,000/- for the loss of income. When compensation has been calculated and awarded on multiplier basis taking into consideration the permanent disability, loss of earning capacity, loss of income and injuries suffered, no further amount is needed to be awarded on these counts. Hence, amount, which was awarded on these heads has to be deducted from the amount. Thus, the amount of compensation is increased by Rs. 1,05,300 - 80,000 = Rs. 25,300/-. 8. The learned counsel for the appellant submits that the present appellant has suffered mental agony and physical discomfort, due to this accident and it has been specifically stated that at present he is not in a position to sleep properly and hence Rs. 10,000/-, which has been awarded in the head of pain and sufferings, is also on lower side. Looking to the pain and sufferings, the amount is increased by Rs. 25,000/-. 9. The appeal is, therefore, allowed and the compensation is enhanced by Rs. 25,300 + Rs. 15,000/- = Rs. 40,300/-. The appellants will also be entitled to get interest @ 7-1/2 per annum on the enhanced amount from the date of filing of appeal till actual payment is released.
