The Insurance Company has challenged the award passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Cuddalore in M.C.O.P.No.204 of 2018. The learned counsel for the claimant / respondent was also present at the time of admission. Both the learned counsels had made their submissions. 2.

The accident had taken place on 14.09.2017 and the respondent is a 22 year old boy doing fishing business. It is his case that he would earn a monthly income of a sum of Rs.20,000/-. 4. The Tribunal after considering the evidence had awarded compensation of a sum of Rs.23,38,720/-. 5. The Transport Corporation is aggrieved by the fact that the Tribunal has awarded excessive amounts under the heads of Pain and Sufferings, Transport Charges, Extra Nourishment and Loss on account of Marital Prospects. 6. It is no doubt true that the amount granted under the head of Loss of Marital Prospects is on the higher side. However, no amounts have been granted under the head of Loss of Amenities and Attender Charges. Further, it is seen that the respondent / claimant had suffered an amputation. Therefore Loss of Amenities is awarded at Rs.50,000/-. Likewise, Rs.50,000/- is awarded under the head of Attender Charges. Compensation granted under the head of Extra Nourishment is enhanced to a sum of Rs.50,000/-. The claimant has been an inpatient for over 2 months and ultimately suffered an amputation. The amount under the head of pain and suffering can be enhanced to a sum of Rs.1,80,000/-. Loss of marital prospects is reduced to a sum of Rs.50,000/-. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed modifying the amounts under the various heads. 7.
