Ramachandran Nair, J.

Appeal is filed for enhancement of compensation for the injury

sustained by the appellant. We have heard counsel for the appellant

and Senior counsel for the Insurance Company. Considering the minor

injury sustained by the appellant which is only fracture of the ankle,

MACT granted a total compensation of Rs.26,000/-. Counsel

submitted that appellant was disabled from work for two months and

compensation granted for pain and suffering is too low. Taking into

account the appellant’s claims, we enhance the total compensation by a

further sum of Rs.4,000/- which will carry interest at 7.5% p.a. from

date of application till date of payment. Appeal stands allowed to the

above extent.
