The Tribunal considered the income of the claimant at a sum of Rs.4,500/- per month and having regard to the disability of 25% as deposed by PW2, the Tribunal considered the disability at 8% to the whole body and thus, adopting the multiplier of 14, the Tribunal awarded the following compensation.

The claimant has filed this appeal contending that the Tribunal ought to have considered the notional income at a sum of Rs.7,000/- per month having regard to the fact that this Court has adopted the same in the matters referred to the Lok Adalth for settlement. He also contended that the Tribunal failed to award future medical expenses in view of the evidence of PW2 who deposed that a sum of Rs.25,000/- is required for removal of implants. 6. On the contrary, the counsel for the insurer contends that the compensation awarded by the Tribunal is just, reasonable and does not call for any modification. 7. As submitted by the learned counsel for the claimant, the income of the claimant must have been taken at a sum of Rs.7,000/- and considering the aforesaid, the claimant is entitled to enhanced compensation towards loss of earning during laid up period and due to disability. This Court has consistently followed the procedure to grant two months earnings as the compensation towards loss of earnings for laid up period in the case of fracture. In that view of the matter, the compensation to which the claimant is entitled to, requires re-consideration and re-calculation which this Court does as follows: Heads under which compensation awarded Amount in Rupees Reimbursement of medical expenses 15,227 Compensation towards pain and suffering 25,000 Loss of future earnings 94,080 Loss of amenities 10,000 Conveyance, nourishment and attendant charges 5,000 Loss of earnings during the laid up period 14,000 Reimbursement of future medical expenses 25,000 Total 1,88,307 8. In view of the above, the appeal is allowed . The impugned Judgment and Award passed by the Tribunal is modified and the compensation is enhanced to a sum of Rs.1,88,307/- as against a sum of Rs.1,15,000/- awarded by the Tribunal. 9. The insurer of the motor cycle bearing registration No.KA-46-E-3824 is liable to pay the aforesaid compensation along with interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the date of claim petition till the date of realization. 10.
