MAHESH BHAGWATI

body2012
Hon'ble BHAGWATI, J.—The claimant appellant has filed this appeal for the enhancement of quantum of compensation. 2. Heard learned counsel for the appellant and perused the impugned award dated 19th October, 2005 rendered by Additional District Judge (Fast Track) No. 8, Jaipur City, Jaipur, whereby the learned trial court decreed an amount of Rs. 4,70,936/- in favour of the claimant-appellant and against the respondents. 3. Having heard the learned counsel for the appellant and carefully perused the impugned award, it is noticed that the learned Tribunal in the absence of any proof with regard to the income of the injured, determined his notional income to be Rs. 2000/- per month and after taking into consideration the age, percentage of permanent disability to be 80%, future prospects, expenses of nutritional diet, travelling charges and the amount of medical bills submitted by the appellant, rationally computed Rs. 4,70,936/- to be the quantum of compensation. Since Rs. 25,000/- had already been paid to the appellant under 'No Fault Liability', he was held entitled to get remaining Rs. 4,45,936/-. The impugned award is well merited based on cogent finding, with which I fully concur and I do not find any ground to make any interference in the impugned award. 4. For these reasons, the appeal fails and the same being bereft of merit deserves to be dismissed, which stands dismissed accordingly.
