In all, compensation of Rs.14,000/- was awarded to the claimant-appellant. 11. However, looking to the injuries sustained by the claimant and treatment, in the opinion of this Court, for three injuries which were simple in nature, the claimant is entitled to get Rs.1,000/- for each injury and for injury of fracture of tibia bone in left leg which was grievous in nature, the claimant is entitled to get Rs.15,000/-.
