The claimant had suffered irregular deep lacerated wound through lateral aspect of right ankle, measuring about 15 cms and exposing muscles, tendons and bone.

The right ankle joint is swollen and fused. The injury area is not completely healed. There are raw areas on injured right ankle and right foot. The claimant had two admissions for treatment to post traumatic raw area of right ankle and foot. 5. The Tribunal has awarded compensation of Rs. 2,02,000/- under following heads:-- 6. On hearing learned counsel for parties and after going through the evidence and impugned judgment, I find that compensation awarded by Tribunal towards "loss of earning capacity and loss of future earnings" is inadequate, so also towards "loss of amenities and enjoyment of life". The Tribunal has not awarded adequate compensation towards "future medical expenses"; The claimant was aged about 60 years at the time of accident. He is a Sericulturist by occupation. The Tribunal has determined income of claimant at Rs. 4,000/- per month. The Tribunal has assessed permanent physical disability vis-a-vis loss of earning capacity at 8%. The claimant was aged about 60 years at the time of accident. Therefore, appropriate multiplier would be 9'. Having regard to nature of injuries, permanent physical disability, present condition of right foot of claimant, permanent physical disability vis-a-vis loss of earning capacity is assessed at. 15%. Thus, claimant would be entitled to additional compensation of Rs. 34,800/- (Rs. 4,000/- x 12 x 9 x 0.15) towards "loss of earning capacity and loss of future earnings". The claimant has to suffer pain and inconvenience due to disability of right lower limb. The claimant was aged about 60 years at the time of accident. With the advance of age, situation may aggravate. Considering all these aspects, I award additional compensation of Rs. 20,000/- towards "loss of amenities and enjoyment of life". The Tribunal has awarded compensation of Rs. 10,000/- towards "future medical expenses". I have already stated that injury area is not completely healed, still it is susceptible to infection. Therefore, I award additional compensation of Rs. 15,000/- towards "future medical expenses". Thus, claimant is entitled to additional compensation of Rs. 69,800/- and total compensation of Rs. 2,71,800/-. In the result, I pass the following:- ORDER The appeal is accepted in part. The impugned award is modified, compensation of Rs. 2,02,000/- awarded by Tribunal is enhanced to Rs. 2,71,800/-. The rest of the impugned award as it relates to rate of interest, period of accrual of interest, ratio of payment and investment is confirmed.
