JUDGMENT Mr. Jitendra Chauhan, J.:- The present appeal has been filed by the claimantappellant, seeking enhancement of the compensation amount awarded by the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Karnal (for short ‘the Tribunal’), vide award dated 4.1.1999, on account of the injuries suffered by her in a motor vehicular accident. 2. Learned counsel for the appellant contends that the appellant suffered multiple injuries. She suffered fractures on her right collar bone and right leg. The learned Tribunal awarded a sum of Rs.10,000/- as compensation, which is inadequate. He prays for the enhancement of the compensation amount. 3. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the respondent- Insurance Company submits that the compensation awarded by the learned Tribunal is just and adequate. Therefore, the present appeal deserves to be dismissed. 4. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record carefully. 5. It is not disputed that the appellant suffered multiple injuries in the accident. She was fourty years of age at the time of her accident and working as an agricultural labourer. The medical bills are exhibited as Ex.C1 to C-33. She had to suffer a lot of agony on account of the injuries suffered by her. The appellant is a poor labourer. This Court feels that the amount awarded by the learned Tribunal is on the lower side and therefore, another enhancement of Rs.25,000/- in lump sum would met the ends of justice. 6. Accordingly, the enhanced amount i.e. Rs.25,000/- shall be paid to the claimant-appellant, within 45 days from the date of the receipt of the certified copy of the judgment, failing which, the appellant shall be entitled to get interest @ 8% per annum from the date of the filing of the appeal till its realisation. 7. In view of the above, the present appeal is partly allowed and the impugned Award is modified to the above extent. ---------0.B.S.0------------ —————————
