Even though the Tribunal accepted the certificate, awarded<\/p>\n<p>compensation only Rs.15,000\/- towards permanent disability. According to<\/p>\n<p>the claimant, she was a coolie and earing Rs.1,800\/- per month. The<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\"> MFA 854\/2000                             -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Tribunal fixed only Rs.750\/- per month. She was a house wife. The<\/p>\n<p>Honourable Supreme Court in <a href=\"\/doc\/508534\/\" id=\"a_1\">Latha Wadhwa and others V. State of Bihar<\/p>\n<p>and others<\/a> ((2001)8 SCC 197) held that even in the case of a house wife,<\/p>\n<p>Rs.3,000\/- could be taken as the monthly income of the claimant<\/p>\n<p>considering her services to the family.      On considering the facts and<\/p>\n<p>circumstances of the case and the fact that the accident occurred n 1995, we<\/p>\n<p>fix Rs.1,500\/- as monthly income of the appellant. She was 50 years of age<\/p>\n<p>at the time of accident. Therefore, compensation payable taking guidance on<\/p>\n<p>the Second Schedule, 8 is an apt multiplier. So, compensation payable for<\/p>\n<p>disability is Rs.36,000\/- (Rs.1,500 x 12 x 25\/100 x 8 = 36,000). Tribunal<\/p>\n<p>awarded only Rs.15,000\/-. Therefore, the appellant\/claimant will be entitled<\/p>\n<p>to Rs.21,000\/- more for disability and loss of earning capacity.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_6\">         4. She was under treatment for three months. She was hospitalized<\/p>\n<p>for a period of 16 days. Tribunal granted an amount of Rs.2,250\/-. Since we<\/p>\n<p>have increased the monthly income to Rs.1,500\/- from Rs.750\/-, she is<\/p>\n<p>entitled to additional amount of Rs.2,250\/- towards loss of actual earnings.<\/p>\n<p>We find that compensation granted under other heads are reasonable.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">         5. In the circumstances, the appellant\/claimant will be entitled to<\/p>\n<p>an additional amount of Rs.23,250\/- over and above the amount granted by<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_2\"> MFA 854\/2000                               -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the Tribunal.
