The appellant travelled in a bus owned by the first respondent.  The<br \/>\nbus was insured with the third respondent.  While he was travelling in the bus,<br \/>\nthe lorry owned by the second respondent hit the bus and he lost his right hand<br \/>\nentirely and his right hand  was amputated at the shoulder level.  He suffered<br \/>\n90% permanent partial disability. The lorry was also insured with the third<br \/>\nrespondent. He filed M.C.O.P.NO.463 of 1998 claiming Rs.10,00,000\/- as<br \/>\ncompensation before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Principal District<br \/>\nJudge, Dindigul. The Tribunal passed an award dated 31.07.09, holding that both<br \/>\nthe drivers of the lorry and the bus equally contributed to the accident and<br \/>\nfastened the liability on each of them at the ratio of 50% and 50%.  However<br \/>\nthat makes no difference since the third respondent is the Insurance Company for<br \/>\nboth the vehicles.  The Tribunal awarded Rs.2,84,200\/- as compensation with 12%<br \/>\ninterest and costs. The claimant seeks enhancement of compensation from<br \/>\nRs.2,84,200 to Rs.10,00,000\/-.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t3. Heard Mr.Hemakarthikeyan, learned Counsel for the appellant and<br \/>\nMr.K.Bhaskaran, learned Counsel for the third respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t4. The Tribunal granted compensation under the following heads:\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(i)  for loss of income\tRs.2,59,200\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(ii) for medical expenses\tRs.  15,000\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(iii)for loss of amenities\tRs.  10,000\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tTotal\t\tRs.2,84,200\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t5. The learned Counsel for the appellant makes the following submissions:\n<\/p>\n<p>(i) The Tribunal committed error in fixing Rs.2,000\/- as monthly earnings of the<br \/>\nappellant and thereafter made 1\/3rd deduction towards personal expenses.\n<\/p>\n<p>(ii) The Tribunal failed to award any amount towards (a) pain and sufferings,\n<\/p>\n<p>(b)loss of expectation of life, hardship, mental stress etc., and (c) for loss<br \/>\nof prospects of marriage.\n<\/p>\n<p>(iii) The Tribunal awarded only Rs.10,000\/- towards loss of amenities, which is<br \/>\non lower side.\n<\/p>\n<p>(iv) The Tribunal awarded only Rs.15,000\/-, when the appellant produced medical<br \/>\nbills for Rs.39,755\/-.\n<\/p>\n<p>(v) The Tribunal failed to award any amount towards fixation of artificial hand<br \/>\nand for future medical expenses.\n<\/p>\n<p>(vi) The Tribunal failed to award any amount towards transportation charges and<br \/>\nfor extra nourishment.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t6. On the other hand, the learned Counsel for the third respondent submits<br \/>\nthat there is no infirmity in the award and the Tribunal correctly fixed<br \/>\nRs.2,000\/- as monthly wages.  In any event, the learned Counsel fairly submits<br \/>\nthat 1\/3rd deduction could not be made in the case of injuries.  The learned<br \/>\nCounsel relies on the following decisions and submits that there is no necessity<br \/>\nto interfere in the award.\n<\/p>\n<p>(i) K.Narayanasamy Vs. Mukunda and Others reported in  1999 ACJ 1599(Delhi)\n<\/p>\n<p>(ii) New India Assurance Company Limited Vs.

Thiruvalluvar Transport Corporation reported in 2005(5)<br \/>\nCTC 745.(Mad)\n<\/p>\n<p>(ix) Pramod Pachori Vs. Suresh Chandra reported in 2007 ACJ 564.(MP)<\/p>\n<p>\t7. I have considered the submissions made on either side and perused the<br \/>\nrecords.\n<\/p>\n<p>Issue No.1:\n<\/p>\n<p>\t8. The first issue is whether the Tribunal was correct in fixing<br \/>\nRs.2,000\/- as monthly earnings and whether the Tribunal was correct in deducting<br \/>\n1\/3rd amount towards personal expenses.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t9. The learned Counsel for the appellant relies on the judgment of the<br \/>\nHonourable Apex Court in National Insurance Company Limited Vs. Khimlibai and<br \/>\nOthers reported in 2009(2) TNMAC 256(SC) and the judgment of this Court in Tamil<br \/>\nNadu State Transport Corporation Limited Vs. S.Srinivasan and Others reported in<br \/>\n2008(1) TNMAC 151, and submits that atleast Rs.3,000\/- could be fixed as monthly<br \/>\nsalary.  According to him, in the judgment of the Honourable Supreme Court, the<br \/>\naccident took place in the year 1997, wherein Rs.3,000\/- was taken as monthly<br \/>\nearnings of a Carpenter.  In the another case, the accident took<\/p>\n<p>place in the year 1985 and the concerned person was a driver and in that case<br \/>\nRs.3,500\/- was taken as monthly earnings.  However, the learned Counsel for the<br \/>\nappellant submits that he will be satisfied if Rs.2,000\/- is taken as monthly<br \/>\nsalary without any deduction towards personal expenses.  In fact, the learned<br \/>\nCounsel for the third respondent fairly submits that in the case of injuries,<br \/>\nthere is no need to make any deduction towards personal expenses for computing<br \/>\ncompensation.  Hence, I fix the monthly salary at Rs.2,000\/- for the purpose of<br \/>\ncompensation without any deductions.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t10. There is no dispute over the age.  The appellant was aged about 27<br \/>\nyears at the time of the accident. There is no dispute in choosing the<br \/>\nmultiplier &#8220;18&#8221;.  Hence, the compensation towards loss of income works out to<br \/>\nRs.2,000 x 12 x 18 x 90\/100 = Rs.3,88,800\/-\n<\/p>\n<p>Issue No.2:\n<\/p>\n<p>\t11. Whether the Tribunal failed to award any amount towards (a) pain and<br \/>\nsufferings, (b)loss of expectation of life, hardship, mental stress etc., and\n<\/p>\n<p>(c) for loss of prospects of marriage.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t12. The appellant lost his right hand entirely and there was amputation at<br \/>\nthe shoulder level.  In fact, the Tribunal noted in paragraph 13 of the award<br \/>\nthat right hand assumes greater importance in the human body.  Further, the<br \/>\nappellant was aged about 27 years at the time of the accident.  He was at the<br \/>\nprime stage of youth and his dreams were shattered due to the losing of right<br \/>\nhand.  In this connection, paragraph 19 of the Full Bench judgment of this Court<br \/>\nin Cholan Roadways Corporation Limited Vs. Ahmed thambi and 6 others reported in<br \/>\n2006-3 L.W.1025  is extracted herein:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;9. In Halsbury&#8217;s Laws of England, Fourth Edition, Para 879 states that a person<br \/>\ninjured by another&#8217;s wrong is entitled to general damages for non-pecuniary<br \/>\nloss, such as his pain and suffering and loss of amenity, and to damages for<br \/>\npecuniary loss, both past and future, including loss of earnings, medical<br \/>\nexpenses, cost of nursing care and for loss of earning capacity where he is<br \/>\nhandicapped in the labour market.  Broadly the heads of damages can be divided<br \/>\nas follows:\n<\/p>\n<p>A. Pecuniary loss:\n<\/p>\n<p>(1) expenses caused by the injuries;\n<\/p>\n<p>(2) loss of earning or profits&#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>(a) from the date of accident till the date of trail\n<\/p>\n<p>(b) prospective loss\n<\/p>\n<p>(c) incidental expenses.\n<\/p>\n<p>B. Non-pecuniary loss:\n<\/p>\n<p>(1) pain and sufferings<br \/>\n(2) loss of amenities of life<br \/>\n(3) loss of expectation of life<br \/>\n\tThe normal practice is to itemise the award broadly while keeping an eye<br \/>\non the whole, to be just and fair.  Further the<\/p>\n<p>amount awarded must be liberal and not meager since the law values life and limb<br \/>\nin a free society on generous scales.  However, all these elements have to be<br \/>\nviewed with objective standards.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t13. In the light of the dictum laid down by the Full Bench of this Court,<br \/>\nthe appellant is entitled to compensation towards (a) pain and sufferings,\n<\/p>\n<p>(b)loss of expectation of life, hardship, mental stress etc., and (c) for loss<br \/>\nof prospect of marriage.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t14. The learned Counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant has<br \/>\nto be awarded Rs.1,00,000\/- under each head.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t15. The learned Counsel for the third respondent relies on the above said<br \/>\njudgments in paragraph 6 and opposes against granting compensation under the<br \/>\nheads as sought for by the appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t16. In my view, in the judgments relied on by the learned Counsel for the<br \/>\nthird respondent, there is no law laid down relating to the compensation for\n<\/p>\n<p>(a) pain and sufferings, (b)loss of expectation of life, hardship, mental stress<br \/>\netc., and (c) loss of prospects of marriage.  In fact, in the judgment of the<br \/>\nApex Court in Divisional controller Vs. Mahadeva Shetty reported in 2003 ACJ<br \/>\n1775, relied on by the learned Counsel for the third respondent supports the<br \/>\ncase of the appellant.  The appellant is entitled to compensation towards (a)<br \/>\npain and sufferings, (b)loss of expectation of life, hardship, mental stress<br \/>\netc., and (c) loss of prospects of marriage, in the light of the decision of<br \/>\nFull Bench of this Court read with the Honourable  Apex Court relied on by the<br \/>\nlearned Counsel for the third respondent.  However, I am not inclined to grant<br \/>\nRs.1,00,000\/- under each head as sought for by the appellant.  I am inclined to<br \/>\ngrant Rs.75,000\/- under each head.\n<\/p>\n<p>Issue No.3:\n<\/p>\n<p>\t17. Whether the Tribunal was correct in awarding only Rs.10,000\/- towards<br \/>\nloss of amenities, which is on lower side.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t18. Taking into account that the appellant lost his right hand and that he<br \/>\nwas aged 27 years at the time of the accident, the Tribunal awarded Rs.10,000\/-<br \/>\ntowards loss of amenities, which is on the lower side.  It is stated that he is<br \/>\npractising as an Advocate before this Court. I am inclined to grant Rs.75,000\/-,<br \/>\nwhile the appellant sought Rs.1,00,000\/- under this head.\n<\/p>\n<p>Issue No.4:\n<\/p>\n<p>\t19. Whether the Tribunal was correct in awarding only Rs.15,000\/-, when<br \/>\nthe appellant produced medical bills for Rs.39,755\/-.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t20. The claim of the appellant is to reimburse him the entire medical<br \/>\nexpenses. In fact, the learned Counsel for the third respondent fairly submits<br \/>\nthat the third respondent has no objection to grant Rs.39,755\/- as claimed by<br \/>\nthe appellant based on the medical bills. Hence, the same is awarded.\n<\/p>\n<p>Issue No.5:\n<\/p>\n<p>\t 21. Whether the Tribunal failed to award any amount towards fixation of<br \/>\nartificial hand and for future medical expenses.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t22. The learned Counsel for the appellant states that he produced Ex.A.1<br \/>\nrelating to the estimation of fixation of artificial limb.  According to Ex.A.1,<br \/>\nthe estimation is Rs.3,80,000\/-.  However, the learned Counsel for the third<br \/>\nrespondent submits that the third respondent has no objection to award<br \/>\nRs.50,000\/- towards fixation of artificial limb.  The learned Counsel for the<br \/>\nappellant has no objection to restrict his claim to Rs.50,000\/- under this head.<br \/>\nHence, Rs.50,000\/- is awarded towards fixation of artificial hand.<br \/>\nIssue No.6:\n<\/p>\n<p>\t23. Whether the Tribunal  failed to award any amount towards<br \/>\ntransportation charges and for extra nourishment.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t24. As there is no amount awarded by the Tribunal towards transportation<br \/>\ncharges and for extra nourishment, I am inclined to grant Rs.25,000\/- for both<br \/>\nheads.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t25. Therefore, the following compensation is fixed by this Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(i)  for loss of income\tRs. 3,88,800\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(ii) pain and sufferings\tRs. 1,00,000\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(iii)loss of expectation<br \/>\n\t\tof life, hardship,<br \/>\n\t\tmental stress etc., \tRs. 1,00,000<\/p>\n<p> \t(iv) for loss of prospects \tRs. 1,00,000<br \/>\n\t\tof marriage\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(v)  for loss of amenities<br \/>\n\t      and enjoyment in life\tRs.   75,000\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(vi) for medical expenses\tRs.   39,755\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(vii) for fixation of<br \/>\n\t\tartificial limb\t        Rs.   50,000\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(viii)for transportation<br \/>\n\t\tcharges and for<br \/>\n\t\textra nourishment\tRs.   25,000\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tTotal\t\tRs. 8,78,555\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t26.  The third respondent Insurance Company is directed to deposit<br \/>\nRs.5,94,355\/- with interest at 7.5% from the date of application, within a<br \/>\nperiod of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
