On the side of the appellant, it is stated that the Tribunal failed to appreciate the evidence in the proper perspective. There is absence for proof of total disablement resulting in functional disability, the loss of avocation and income. There was no justification in applying multiplier method to assess the loss of income and the Tribunal failed to appreciate the evidence on record and failed to note that applying multiplier formula is not applicable to all the injury cases. The grant of Rs.3,12,120/- for permanent disability without any proof of functional disability is arbitrary. The award under various heads is excessive. 7. It is seen that the first respondent was not riding his two wheeler at the time of the accident. The two wheeler was stationed at that time. From the evidence of P.W.1 and Ex.P1, FIR, Ex.P3, Motor vehicle report, Ex.P4, chargesheet, it is clear that the driver of the tractor was responsible for the accident. There is no dispute regarding the validity of the insurance policy. The insurance company failed to prove that the driver of the tractor was not having valid driving licence. In the above circumstances, the liability fixed against the appellant is reasonable. 8. It is seen that the first respondent has undergone three surgeries. The wound certificate was marked as Ex.P2. Discharge summary was marked as Ex.P5, the treatment particulars were marked as Ex.P7. Disability certificate was marked as Ex.P10. P.W.2 fixed the disability as 51%. The Trial Court has recorded the observation that the first respondent was not in a position to stand and he was allowed to sit and depose. The wound certificate was marked as Ex.P2.
