Mr. Satinder Khanna, learned counsel for the appellant took the plea that the appellant had suffered 90% disability on account of functional impairment of his right hand as per statement of PW-4 Dr. Vikas Gupta and certificate Ex.PW4/A on the file. The appellant was earning Rs.6,000/- per month. Now, he is unable to do any work. He has suffered a lot on account of pain and suffering and enjoyment of life. But ‘The Tribunal’ has not awarded ‘just compensation.’ 3. While arguing on this point, Mr. M.B. Jain, learned counsel for the Insurance Company took the plea that ‘The Tribunal’ has already awarded ‘just compensation’ because all the medical expenses have already been reimbursed to the appellant. Apart from that ‘The Tribunal’ ordered for payment of Rs.40,000/- as compensation on account of pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, so the appeal be dismissed. 4. Having considered the rival contentions raised in appeal, this Court is of the considered view that the appellant had suffered 90% functional impairment of his right hand, who was otherwise working as labourer and he was of the age of 45 years. He had to remain as indoor patient from 26.06.2007 till 07.07.2007. ‘The Tribunal’ has awarded compensation thereby reimbursing the actual amount of Rs.75,650/- on account of medical expenses. Apart from that, ‘The Tribunal’ has awarded a sum of Rs.40,000/- on account of pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. This Court is of the considered view that the appellant has not been duly compensated in this case as he had suffered a lot because of 90% functional impairment qua his right hand, who was working as labourer. He has suffered a lot on account of pain and suffering, loss of earnings for the period when he remained under treatment and loss of future earnings as well and loss of enjoyment of life also. It is also settled proposition of law that there is no hard and fast rule to determine the amount of compensation in such like cases and some what guess work has to be done. 5.
