The Tribunal granted him Rs.1,74,320/-. 3. Learned counsel for the appellant referring to the evidence of P.W.2 and records would submit that in the facts and circumstances, adopting the multiplier method would not arise; on the whole, the Tribunal had awarded excessive compensation. 4. The learned counsel for the first respondent also referred to the medical evidence and submitted that the Tribunal had awarded him reasonable compensation. The learned counsel would also specifically point out that under various other heads, the Tribunal has awarded him very less compensation. 5. I have considered the rival submissions. Perused the materials on record and also gone through the award of the Claims Tribunal. 6. The accident was on 01.03.2004. The injury was on the 5th proximal phalanx and certain other injury. In the facts and circumstances, as rightly submitted by the learned counsel for the appellant adopting multiplier method will not arise. However, it is a fact that the victim has sustained injury. He has been immobilised for a considerable period. He might have undergone lot of pain and suffering. He has to spent considerably for nutritious food and transportation charges. 7. Keeping the above, in our view, Rs.1,63,000/-granted towards disability is reduced to Rs.40,000/-. Towards pain and suffering, Rs.5,000/-has been awarded. It is increased to Rs.10,000/-.
