                                  JUDGMENT

Koshy,J.

Appellant-petitioner at the age of 15 sustained injuries while

travelling as pillion rider. Compensation awarded was Rs 40,750/-

with interest at the rate of 9% per annum. The only dispute is

regarding the quantum of compensation. Though doctor certified

permanent disability as 13% Tribunal has taken only 10 as the

percentage of permanent disability. It is true that there was

comminuted fracture of patella and patellectomy and quadriceps

repaired. Considering the age of the claimant and the nature of

injuries sustained we are of the opinion that just and reasonable

compensation was awarded. The appeal is therefore dismissed.
