JUDGMENT Sabina, J. - Appellant has filed this appeal, challenging the award dated 16.03.2018 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, seeking enhancement of compensation amount. 2. Learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that the appellant has suffered permanent disability to the extent of 23.55%. The amount of compensation granted by the Tribunal was liable to be enhanced. 3. Learned counsel for respondent no. 3, has opposed the appeal. 4. Appellant had filed claim petition seeking compensation on account of injuries suffered by him in the motor-vehicle accident which had occurred on 17.06.2010. 5. After considering the material on record, learned Tribunal has taken the age of the appellant as 25 years. Keeping in view the age of the appellant, appropriate multiplier to work out the amount of compensation would be 18'. 6. In the absence of any documentary evidence on record with regard to the income of the appellant, learned Tribunal has rightly taken the income of the appellant as Rs. 3,000/- per month. 7. As per Exhibit-12, appellant had suffered permanent disability to the extent of 23.55% (copy of the Disability Certificate has been placed on record during the course of arguments). 8. Thus, the appellant would be entitled to receive Rs. 3,000/- x 12 x 18 x 23.55% = Rs. 1,52,604/- by way of compensation vis--vis permanent disability suffered by him. 9. Appellant would be further entitled to receive an addition of 40% of the said amount towards loss of his future prospects and the said amount comes to Rs. 61,041/-. Appellant had remained admitted in the hospital for eight days. Thus, appellant would be entitled to receive Rs. 4,000/- towards hospitalization expenses. Admittedly, medical bills proved on record are to the tune of Rs. 8,877/-. Appellant would be entitled to receive Rs. 10,000/- towards transportation charges and Rs. 10,000/- towards special diet etc. Appellant is further held entitled to receive Rs. 50,000/- towards pain and suffering. 10. Thus, the appellant would be entitled to receive, in all, Rs. 1,52,604/- + Rs. 61,041/-+ Rs. 4,000/- + Rs. 8,877/- + Rs. 10,000/- + Rs. 10,000/- + Rs. 50,000/- = Rs. 2,96,522/- by way of compensation. 11. Accordingly, this appeal is allowed. Impugned award dated 16.03.2018, is modified to the extent that the appellant would be entitled to receive Rs. 2,96,522/- by way of compensation instead of Rs. 1,09,477/- as awarded by the Tribunal.
61,041/-+ Rs. 4,000/- + Rs. 8,877/- + Rs. 10,000/- + Rs. 10,000/- + Rs. 50,000/- = Rs. 2,96,522/- by way of compensation. 11. Accordingly, this appeal is allowed. Impugned award dated 16.03.2018, is modified to the extent that the appellant would be entitled to receive Rs. 2,96,522/- by way of compensation instead of Rs. 1,09,477/- as awarded by the Tribunal.
