The claimant sustained grievous injury. He was admitted in the New Hope Indian Speciality Hospital at Arumbakkam, Poonamallee High Road. He was treated for the fractured injury by surgery. Hence, a claim petition seeking compensation of Rs.6,00,000/- was filed against the Managing Director, MTC, which owns the offending bus. 3. The Corporation/respondent has filed counter, alleging the negligence on the part of the claimant. The claimant, recklessly crossed Centre Median Line and proceeded in the opposite direction, contrary to road rules, has caused the accident. The owner of the motorcycle and the insurance company of the motorcycle were not arrayed as parties. Hence, the petition is bad for non-joinder of necessary parties. 4.

Hence, the Tribunal ought to have applied the multiplier and should have awarded adequate compensation. Under other non-conventional heads, the appellant has stated that the award is not fair and adequate. 7. The Learned Counsel appearing for the respondent/corporation would submit that the discharge summary of the appellant indicates that he sustained compound fracture at 1st metatarsal base right foot grade III-A, segmental fracture right tibia with comminution. He was treated as inpatient from 04.01.2011 to 11.01.2011. He has undergone surgery for the fracture. The injured has paid around Rs.41,327.50 towards medical bill and the balance medical expenses was reimbursed by the State Government under the Chief Minister's Insurance Scheme. Therefore, the Tribunal has rightly awarded a sum of Rs.1,81,327/-, after considering the loss of earning during the treatment period, pain and sufferings and disability. Therefore, there is no need to interfere the award of the Tribunal. 8. Heard the rival submissions of the Learned Counsel for the appellant and the Learned Counsel for the respondent. Records perused. 9. The compound fracture at 1st metatarsal base right foot grade III-A, segmental fracture right tibia with comminution are not scheduled injuries. Therefore, the plea of the appellant that the multiplier ought to have been applied is unsustainable. P.W.3, the Doctor who has examined the injured, after two years of accident, had assessed the disability as 50%. This is in respect of one limb i.e., right foot, which has suffered compound fracture 1st metatarsal base right foot grade III-A, segmental fracture right tibia with comminution got reunion and fixed with K-wire and fracture of 1st metatarsal bone of the right foot fixed with long nail and screws. It appears that the said disability is in respect of limb and not whole body. However, the Tribunal has fixed the partial permanent disability at 40% and has awarded Rs.80,000/- as compensation. The claimant has deposed that, he was earning Rs.10,000/- per month as CNC Operator. Though, there is no evidence to substantiate this claim, the Tribunal has accepted the same and awarded a sum of Rs.20,000/- towards loss of earning during the treatment period. 10. The overall consideration of the evidence and the award, this Court finds that the Tribunal has properly appreciated the evidence arriving at the quantum of compensation except disallowing the expenses for future treatment to remove the nail and screws fixed. 10. The overall consideration of the evidence and the award, this Court finds that the Tribunal has properly appreciated the evidence arriving at the quantum of compensation except disallowing the expenses for future treatment to remove the nail and screws fixed. We find that, one Dr.Velmurugan, New Hope Hospital has a given letter dated 12.07.2013, which is marked as Ex.P.6 informing that, for implant removal on right leg, a sum of Rs.40,000/- may required for the procedure. 11. As pointed out earlier, the claimant is covered under the medical Insurance and it is not sure that whether he need to spend Rs.40,000/- from his pocket for implant removal. In any event, for the future medical expense, he must be compensated fairly. Hence, this Court finds that a sum of Rs.20,000/- will be fair and adequate for the said future expense. To that extent, the award of the Tribunal is modified. The compensation of Rs.1,81,327/- awarded by the Tribunal is enhanced to Rs.2,01,327/-. 12. Therefore, this Court holds that the appellant is entitled for a sum of Rs.2,01,327/- with 7.5% interest from the date of numbering (17.11.2011) the petition till the date of realization. The Tribunal shall deposit the award amount with interest within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
