JUDGMENT : Mansoor Ahmad Mir, J. This appeal is directed against the judgment and award dated 27.2.2010, made by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal-II, Mandi, H.P. in Claim Petition No. 51 of 2003, titled Sh. Laxman versus Himachal Road Transport Corporation and another, for short “the Tribunal”, whereby compensation to the tune of Rs.24,390/- was awarded in favour of the claimant and insurer came to be saddled with the liability, hereinafter referred to as “the impugned award”, for short. 2. Respondents have not questioned the impugned award on any ground. Thus, it has attained finality so far as it relates to them. 3. The claimant has questioned the impugned award on the ground of adequacy of compensation. 4. Admittedly, the claimant/appellant met with an accident and suffered 15% disability. He remained admitted in the hospital for 26 days and during the said period, he had to engage attendant. The Tribunal has awarded Rs.9390/- towards medical and hospitalization expenses, has fallen in an error in not awarding the compensation under the head “Pain and suffering, “Loss of amenities of life” and “Loss of income.” 5. It is admitted and pleaded that he has suffered 15% disability which he will be carrying throughout his life. At least, some amount, under the head “Loss of income” was to be awarded in his favour because after retirement, he will not be in a position to earn anything except pension. Thus it is held that the claimant is, at least, entitled to lump sum of Rs.1,00,000/- under the head “loss of income.” 6. The claimant has also suffered pain and will be undergoing the same throughout his life. He stands deprived of his amenities of life. Thus, I deem it proper to award Rs.50,000/- under the head “Pain and suffering” and Rs.50,000/- under the head “loss of amenities of life”. 7. Viewed thus, the claimant is held entitled to Rs.1,00,000/- + Rs.50,000/- + Rs.50,000. Total Rs.200,000/, in addition to the amount already awarded by the Tribunal with interest @ 7.5% per annum from the date of the impugned award till its realization. 8. Accordingly, the impugned award is modified as indicated hereinabove. The insurer is directed to satisfy the award and is directed to deposit the amount in this Registry within six weeks from today. 8.
