ORDER 1. This is an appeal filed by the claimant under section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act against an award dated 12.1.2012 passed by 12th Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Indore in Claim Case No. 330/2009. By the impugned award, the Claims Tribunal has awarded a total sum of Rs. 1,46,432/- with interest to the claimant by way of compensation for the injury which he sustained in an accident. According to claimant i.e. appellant herein, the compensation awarded is on lower side and hence, need to be enhanced. It is for the enhancement in the compensation awarded by the Tribunal, the claimant has filed this appeal. So the question that arises for consideration is whether any case for enhancement in compensation awarded by the Tribunal on facts/evidence adduced is made out in the compensation awarded and if so to what extent? 2. It is not necessary to narrate the entire facts in detail, such as how the accident occurred, who was negligent in driving the offending vehicle, who is liable for paying compensation etc. It is for the reason that firstly all these findings are recorded in favour of claimant by the Tribunal. Secondly, none of these findings though recorded in claimant’s favour are under challenge at the instance of any of the respondents such as owner/driver or insurance company either by way of cross appeal or cross objection. In this view of the matter, there is no justification to burden the judgment by detailing facts on all these issues. 3. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that appellant was aged 37 years at the time of accident, which took place on 23.8.2008. Appellant was hospitalized for six days. Appellant sustained head injuries. It is submitted That learned Tribunal has awarded a Sum of Rs. 1,46,432/- break up of which is as under: Rs. 57,600/- Towards permanent disability. Rs. 88,832/- Towards medical expenses. Rs. 1,46,432/- Total 4. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that tooking to the injuries sustained by the appellant, amount awarded by the learned Tribunal is on lower side which deserves to be enhanced. It is submitted that appeal by allowed and amount be enhanced. 5.

It is submitted that appeal be dismissed. 6. I have gone through the evidence adduced by the claimant on the issue of injuries sustained by appellant. After taking into consideration all the evidence on record it appears that the compensation awarded is on lower side. In my opinion, it will be proper to enhance the compensation by Rs. 10,000/-. In other words in view of this, the claimant is held entitled for a total sum of Rs. 1,56,432/- by way of compensation for the injuries sustained by appellant in the accident. The enhanced amount of Rs. 10,000/- shall carry interest @ 8% p.a. from the date of application. 7. With the aforesaid modification the appeal stands disposed of with costs.
