The present appeal has been filed for enhancement of claim of compensation. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties, perused the paper book and record. 6. Learned counsel for the appellant assailed the award by stating that the Tribunal while awarding the compensation has not considered the fact that the appellant remained hospitalized for about 60 days and underwent three surgeries and was permanently disabled to the extent of 67%. The Tribunal has even not considered the fact that the appellant would be needing an attendant and transportation for rest of her life. Her grievance is that compensation amount awarded of Rs. 1,81,256/- is very meagre. 7. Learned counsel for the Insurance Company defended the award and resisted enhancement. 8. Considering the fact that the 61 year old lady has been crippled because of the accident; 67% permanent disability on a whole body ensures that she would be suffering for rest of her life and she had also undergone three surgeries and during the period of the hospitalization expenses had been incurred for attendant, transportation and special diet. No dispute has been raised regarding the compensation awarded for permanent disability. No dispute has been raised regarding the compensation awarded for permanent disability. Above facts and hospitalization of almost 60 days has not been disputed. 9. In the facts and circumstances of the case amount awarded is enhanced by Rs. 1,50,000/- for various peculiar and non-peculiar heads.
