Total    compensation      claimed  was<\/p>\n<p>Rs.2,00,000\/-.     Tribunal awarded only an amount of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.1,30,000\/- including reimbursement of medical expenses.<\/p>\n<p>He was 25 years old at the time of accident.        According to<\/p>\n<p>him, he was a business man earning Rs.3,000\/- per month.<\/p>\n<p>But tribunal fixed only Rs.1,500\/- as the monthly income.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the evidence and considering the age, we are not<\/p>\n<p>enhancing the monthly income fixed by the tribunal.        With<\/p>\n<p>regard to the injuries, tribunal noticed that Ext.A6 wound<\/p>\n<p>certificate and Ext.A7 discharge summary were issued from<\/p>\n<p>the Heart Hospital, Thrissur, which shows that he had the<\/p>\n<p>following injuries:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>         &#8220;1.  Brain contusion.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">MFA.328\/2003                    2<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>            2. Brain oedema.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>            3. Fracture right clavicle.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>            4. Fracture ribs 6.7,8 on the left side.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>            5. Cut injury Occipital area\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>            6. Multiple abrasions both feet and shoulders&#8221;.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He was treated as inpatient in the Hospital till 1.1.1998. He<\/p>\n<p>was in the Intensive Care Unit also and at the time of<\/p>\n<p>admission, he was semi conscious and disoriented. Ext.A8<\/p>\n<p>Scan report shows his brain injuries. Ext.A9 is the disability<\/p>\n<p>certificate issued by the Neuro Surgeon of the Medical<\/p>\n<p>College Hospital, Thrissur, certifying that the petitioner has<\/p>\n<p>brain oedema and cerebellar trophy. His speech is affected<\/p>\n<p>and has tremor on both hands. He has difficulty to write,<\/p>\n<p>defective walking, climbing up and down, rapidly uncontrolled<\/p>\n<p>movements. This is more on the left side compared to right.<\/p>\n<p>It was also reported that he was fed by relatives with the help<\/p>\n<p>of spoon. The permanent disability assessed was 40%. He<\/p>\n<p>deposed before the court that he cannot recollect from his<\/p>\n<p>memory the incident in detail and there is difficulty in<\/p>\n<p>speaking.     He has difficulty to do daily activities such as<\/p>\n<p>eating as the hands will not reach his mouth due to brain<\/p>\n<p>stem injury.    But tribunal did not accept the disability<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">MFA.328\/2003                     3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>certificate merely because the Doctor did not treat him as<\/p>\n<p>PW2, Doctor was examined to prove the certificate.        He has<\/p>\n<p>gone through the medical records and also assessed the<\/p>\n<p>disability as on the date of examination and came to the<\/p>\n<p>opinion that the above is permanent. However, tribunal fixed<\/p>\n<p>20% disability on the following reasons as can be seen from<\/p>\n<p>the award:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>           &#8220;He had fracture to the clavicle, deep injury to<br \/>\n           the occipital region and had multiple fractures<br \/>\n           to the ribs. The brain stem injury was noted<br \/>\n           and fluency of speech is lost, he has tremor for<br \/>\n           both hands and writing is difficult. He cannot<br \/>\n           write on a straight line. However he can sit in<br \/>\n           a shop and can do the business.             The<br \/>\n           percentage of loss of earning capacity for the<br \/>\n           purpose of awarding compensation under the<br \/>\n           head loss of earning power can be taken as 20.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We are of the opinion that tribunal went wrong in taking a<\/p>\n<p>lower disability. According to the claimant, he is entitled to<\/p>\n<p>100% loss of earning capacity and he is unable to do any<\/p>\n<p>business or any job.       Considering the medical certificate,<\/p>\n<p>atleast 40% ought have been taken as the disability. Tribunal<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">MFA.328\/2003                    4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>has taken 18 as the multiplier taking into account that he was<\/p>\n<p>25 years at the time of accident.        Even though it was<\/p>\n<p>contended that a higher multiplier should be taken, we are of<\/p>\n<p>the opinion that no grounds are stated for fixing a higher<\/p>\n<p>multiplier than that is awarded by the tribunal. If that is so,<\/p>\n<p>he will be entitled to Rs.1,500 x 12 x          40\/100 x 18 =<\/p>\n<p>Rs.1,29,600\/-.  Tribunal has granted Rs.64,800\/-. Therefore,<\/p>\n<p>additional compensation comes to Rs.64,800\/-. It is submitted<\/p>\n<p>that compensation awarded under other heads are inadequate,<\/p>\n<p>but, considering the amount awarded, we are not enhancing<\/p>\n<p>the same.    The additional amount of R.64,800\/- should be<\/p>\n<p>deposited by the 3rd respondent Insurance company with<\/p>\n<p>7.5% interest from the date of application till its deposit over<\/p>\n<p>and above the decreed amount by the tribunal.     On deposit of<\/p>\n<p>the above amount, appellant is allowed to withdraw the same.<\/p>\n<p>Appeal is accordingly partly allowed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                       J.B.KOSHY, JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>                                 P.N.RAVINDRAN, JUDGE<br \/>\nprp<\/p>\n<p>         J.B.KOSHY &amp; P.N.RAVINDRAN, JJ.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>                    M.F.A.NO.328 OF 2003 (B)<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>                                   J U D G M E N T<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                                    27th June, 2008<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Shanavas vs P.K.Duraiswamy on 27 June, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM MFA.No. 328 of 2003() 1.
