Judgment 1. The appeal has been preferred by the Transport Corporation against the award of Rs.10,80,000/- as a compensation for the injury sustained by the respondent/claimant in the accident, which occurred on 24.02.2010. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the appellant. The only question to be decided is whether the amount awarded is adequate or not. 3. It is argued by the learned counsel for the appellant that 98% was determined as disability and it is on the higher side. That apart Rs.5,000/- has been taken as monthly income in the absence of any proof. Therefore, he seeks to reduce the amount. However, a perusal of the record would show that the respondent, 34 years old, Electrician, lost his two legs viz., two legs were amputated. When two legs were amputated, he has become immobile. Practically, he cannot do any work at all. When that is the position, there will be a 100% loss of earning power and disability will also be 100%. 4. The accident occurred on 24.02.2010. Though the Tribunal determined Rs.5,000/- as monthly income, the Honourable Supreme Court in Syed Sadiq etc. Vs. Division Manager, United India Insurance Company Limited reported in 2014 (1) TN MAC 459 determined Rs.6,500/- as the monthly income for a vegetable vendor, who sustained injury in the accident occurred on 14.02.2008. Following the said judgment, this Court also determined the monthly income at Rs.6,500/-. The appropriate multiplier for age 34 is 16. The loss of income determined as follows: 6500 X 12 X 16 = 12,48,000/- 5. Though 50% is to be added as future prospectus, this Court is not awarding any amount towards future prospectus. The Tribunal rightly awarded a sum of Rs.94,200/- towards medical expenses as per Ex.P4 series. Similarly, a sum of Rs.10,000/- towards transportation is also confirmed. The tribunal awarded a sum of Rs.25,000/- towards pain and sufferings, which is very low as the claimant lost his both legs and hence, the same is enhanced to Rs.50,000/-. Similarly, a sum of Rs.10,000/- was awarded towards extra nourishment, which is too low and the same is enhanced to Rs.25,000/-. No amount was awarded towards loss of amenities and future medical expenses. Hence, a sum of Rs.40,000/- each is awarded towards loss of amenities and future medical expenses. Totally, this Court awards a sum of Rs.15,07,200/- as compensation rounded off to Rs.15,00,000/-. No amount was awarded towards loss of amenities and future medical expenses. Hence, a sum of Rs.40,000/- each is awarded towards loss of amenities and future medical expenses. Totally, this Court awards a sum of Rs.15,07,200/- as compensation rounded off to Rs.15,00,000/-. The rate of interest awarded by the Tribunal at 6% remains unaltered. 6. Though the appeal has been filed by the Transport Corporation against the award of Rs.10,80,000/-, the same is enhanced to Rs.15,00,000/-, even in the absence of appeal/cross appeal, at the admission stage itself without notice to the claimant, in an endeavor to award just compensation, invoking Order 47 Rule 33 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Moreover, the provisions of Motor Vehicles Act are beneficial in nature. 7. In view of the above, this Civil Miscellaneous Appeal fails and the same is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 8.
