The Tribunal found that the accident<\/p>\n<p>occurred due to the negligence of the first respondent, the driver<\/p>\n<p>of the bus insured by the second respondent. But against a claim<\/p>\n<p>of Rs.1,50,000\/-, the Tribunal awarded only Rs.45,750\/-. The<\/p>\n<p>only dispute is regarding the quantum of compensation.<\/p>\n<p>     2.   The Tribunal did not award any compensation for<\/p>\n<p>permanent disability and consequential loss of earning power.<\/p>\n<p>The injuries as found by the Tribunal are as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>           &#8220;The petitioner sustained the following injuries<\/p>\n<p>     as revealed from Ext.A6 wound certificate issued<\/p>\n<p>     from Medical Trust Hospital:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>           &#8220;1.

Ext.A7 is<\/p>\n<p>      the discharge summary. Petitioner suffered bilateral<\/p>\n<p>      clavicle fracture, dislocation of PIP joint and fracture<\/p>\n<p>      of proximal phalang of 4th toe (R). The treatment<\/p>\n<p>      was conservative. Ext.A8 is the certificate issued by<\/p>\n<p>      the hospital stating that petitioner had also suffered<\/p>\n<p>      mild head injury. There was fracture to left temporal<\/p>\n<p>      bone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>      3. According to the claimant, he is unable to drive long<\/p>\n<p>trips.  According to the Tribunal, since he is able to drive, it<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">MACA 955\/06                   -: 3 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>cannot be said that he has permanent disability. But for the loss<\/p>\n<p>of amenities of life, Rs,12,000\/- was awarded. Considering the<\/p>\n<p>injuries mentioned in the medical certificate we have referred the<\/p>\n<p>matter to the Medical Board, Medical College Hospital, Kottayam<\/p>\n<p>for assessing the permanent disability if any. The Doctor certified<\/p>\n<p>that permanent disability suffered by the appellant is 5%. So,<\/p>\n<p>the compensation can be calculated for 5% disability.     He was<\/p>\n<p>aged 31 at the time of the accident. The accident occurred in<\/p>\n<p>1998. Taking the guidance from the 2nd Schedule, 17 can be<\/p>\n<p>fixed as multiplier.   He was a driver by profession. He was<\/p>\n<p>maintaining a family. Even if he was getting only Rs.100\/- per<\/p>\n<p>day, Rs.2,500\/- can be fixed as monthly income for 25 days work<\/p>\n<p>in a month. So, we fix Rs.2,500\/- as monthly income. If that be<\/p>\n<p>so, the compensation payable for 5% disability will be<\/p>\n<p>Rs.25,500\/- (2500x12x5\/100&#215;17). The Tribunal has awarded<\/p>\n<p>Rs.12,000\/- for loss of amenities. Considering the fact that no<\/p>\n<p>compensation was awarded for permanent disability, loss of<\/p>\n<p>earning power and loss of amenities, etc., he is entitled to<\/p>\n<p>Rs.13,500\/-. The claimant had three fractures. According to the<\/p>\n<p>claimant he was advised to take best rest for six months.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">MACA 955\/06                    -: 4 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Considering the above facts we are of the opinion that he was not<\/p>\n<p>able to do the work for at least four months. Therefore, for loss<\/p>\n<p>of actual earnings for four months he is entitled to Rs.10,000\/-.<\/p>\n<p>The Tribunal has granted Rs.3,000\/- for actual loss of earnings.<\/p>\n<p>So, the additional amount he is entitled to for the actual loss of<\/p>\n<p>earning is Rs.7,000\/-. Thus, the total additional amount payable<\/p>\n<p>is  Rs.20,500\/-.   We    are  of     the opinion  that  sufficient<\/p>\n<p>compensation has been granted under other heads.<\/p>\n<p>     4. The additional amount of Rs.20,500\/- should be<\/p>\n<p>deposited by the second respondent &#8211; Insurance Company with<\/p>\n<p>7.5% interest from the date of application till its deposit. On<\/p>\n<p>deposit of the amount, the appellant is allowed to withdraw the<\/p>\n<p>same.\n<\/p>\n<p>     The appeal is partly allowed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                           J.B.Koshy,<br \/>\n                                           Judge.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                           P.N.Ravindran,<br \/>\n                                           Judge.\n<\/p>\n<p>ess 19\/7<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court U.K.Selvaraj vs Mr. Kunjahammed on 7 July, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM MACA.No. 955 of 2006() 1.
