BASANT, J.\n<\/p>\n
      Injured claimant is the appellant.          He claims to be<\/p>\n
aggrieved by the quantum of compensation awarded for the loss<\/p>\n
suffered by him in a motor accident which took place on<\/p>\n
06.05.2002. He claims to be a goldsmith, aged about 20 years.<\/p>\n
He was an inpatient for 12 days in a hospital. He had suffered<\/p>\n
multiple injuries. His right knee was injured. Tendon injury was<\/p>\n
suffered. According to him he has suffered permanent disability<\/p>\n
as a result of the accident.       He produced Ext.A8 disability<\/p>\n
certificate to confirm that he has suffered permanent physical<\/p>\n
disability to the tune of 13%. The author of Ext.A8 was not of<\/p>\n
course examined. The Tribunal on an anxious consideration of<\/p>\n
all the relevant inputs proceeded to award an amount of<\/p>\n
Rs.49,350\/- as compensation as per the details given below.<\/p>\n
\n\n      i)   Loss of earning\n           (2000 X 3)                         :    Rs. 6,000\/-\n\n       ii) Expenses for transportation        :    Rs.   500\/-\n\n      iii) Expense for extra nourishment :         Rs.   500\/-\n\n      iv)  Damages to clothing                :    Rs.  500\/-\n\n      v)   Expense for treatment              :    Rs.21,850\/-\n\n      vi)  Expense for bystander              :    Rs. 1,000\/-\n\nM.A.C.A No.1297 of 2008            2<\/span>\n\n     vii) Compensation for pain and\n           suffering                         :   Rs. 8,000\/-\n\n     viii) Compensation for loss of\n           amenities                         :   Rs. 6,000\/-\n\n     ix)   Compensation for discomfiture :       Rs. 5,000\/-\n\n                                                 ....................\n                              Total          :   Rs.49,350\/-\n                                                 ....................\n\n<\/pre>\n
     2.    The appellant claims to be aggrieved by the impugned<\/p>\n
award. What is his grievance? Called upon to explain the nature<\/p>\n
of the challenge which the appellant wants to mount against the<\/p>\n
impugned award, the learned counsel for the appellant raises<\/p>\n
various grounds.\n<\/p>\n
     3.    First of all it is contended that the monthly income of<\/p>\n
the appellant reckoned by the Tribunal at Rs.2,000\/- per mensem<\/p>\n
is too inadequate.      Even the F.I statement shows that the<\/p>\n
appellant is a goldsmith.       Reasonable inferences about the<\/p>\n
monthly income should have been drawn. Second schedule to<\/p>\n
the Motor Vehicles Act<\/a>, which permits drawal of a presumption<\/p>\n
of prudence that even a non earning person can be assumed to<\/p>\n
earn an income of Rs.1,250\/- in 1994 must have been borne in<\/p>\n
mind by the Tribunal.        In these circumstances, at any rate,<\/p>\n
reckoning the monthly earning at Rs.2,000\/- is not correct,<\/p>\n
argues the counsel.      We find merit in that contention.           The<\/p>\n
M.A.C.A No.1297 of 2008          3<\/span><\/p>\n
accident took place on 06.05.2002. We agree that it would safe<\/p>\n
to assume that the monthly income of the appellant was<\/p>\n
Rs.3,000\/- at the relevant time. In the totality of circumstances,<\/p>\n
that inference of prudence appears to be absolutely reasonable<\/p>\n
to us.\n<\/p>\n
     4.     The counsel then contends that the Tribunal has not<\/p>\n
awarded any amount under the head of reduction in earning<\/p>\n
capacity. The Tribunal did not accept or act upon Ext.A8<\/p>\n
disability certificate. The learned counsel contends that even if<\/p>\n
the Tribunal did not accept Ext.A8 as a gospel truth, it must have<\/p>\n
been held to be sufficient to conclude that the appellant had<\/p>\n
suffered some permanent physical disability. All the relevant<\/p>\n
details have been given in Ext.A8. Ext.A8 is perfectly in tandem<\/p>\n
with the other medical documents like Ext.A4 wound certificate,<\/p>\n
Ext.A5 discharge certificate and Ext.A6 discharge summary. The<\/p>\n
relevant details about the tendon injury suffered by the appellant<\/p>\n
are narrated in Ext.A8. Complete rupture of right patellar tendon<\/p>\n
is indicated. There was rupture of the right quadriceps tendon<\/p>\n
also. If the Tribunal were not satisfied that Ext.A8 certificate can<\/p>\n
be accepted, the Tribunal should in fairness have called upon the<\/p>\n
appellant to adduce evidence to prove Ext.A8. Rejection and complete<\/p>\n
disregard of Ext.A8 is at any rate unjustified, argues counsel.<\/p>\n
M.A.C.A No.1297 of 2008         4<\/span><\/p>\n
     5.   We find force in that contention. A careful perusal of<\/p>\n
Ext.A8 definitely suggests that Ext.A8 which is in conformity<\/p>\n
with the other medical documents produced should not have<\/p>\n
been ignored altogether.    The Tribunal should have call for<\/p>\n
evidence to prove Ext.A8.     If not, the tribunal should have<\/p>\n
referred the appellant to a medical board or medical officer for<\/p>\n
competent assessment of the extent of physical disability. We<\/p>\n
are, in these circumstances, satisfied that the tribunal erred in<\/p>\n
ignoring Ext.A8 altogether.\n<\/p>\n
     6.   Even assuming that the data furnished in Ext.A8 about<\/p>\n
the extent of permanent physical disability can be accepted, it<\/p>\n
has got to be borne in mind that what the courts are concerned<\/p>\n
while ascertaining loss of earning capacity is not strictly the<\/p>\n
extent of physical disability; but the impact of such alleged<\/p>\n
physical disability on the earning capacity of the claimant. So<\/p>\n
reckoned, we take note of the details in Ext.A8, we take note of<\/p>\n
the statement of the appellant even in Ext.A1 F.I.S that he is a<\/p>\n
Goldsmith. We are satisfied that 6% can safely be reckoned as<\/p>\n
the extent of reduction in earning capacity consequent to the<\/p>\n
alleged disability indicated in Ext.A8.         The multiplier-<\/p>\n
multiplicand method has to be adopted to ascertain the quantum<\/p>\n
of compensation payable under the head of reduction in earning<\/p>\n
M.A.C.A No.1297 of 2008           5<\/span><\/p>\n
capacity. The appellant is shown to be a person aged 20 years<\/p>\n
on the date of the accident. The multiplier as per the second<\/p>\n
schedule to the M.V.Act is 16. The same can be accepted.<\/p>\n
      7.    Physical disability suffered by a person has two<\/p>\n
pronged reflections on the life of an individual. In addition to<\/p>\n
reduction in earning capacity it causes impairment in the quality<\/p>\n
of life of the victim. Under heads 8 and 9 referred above, a total<\/p>\n
amount of Rs.11,000\/- has already been awarded by the tribunal<\/p>\n
for loss of amenities and discomfiture and in these circumstances<\/p>\n
we are satisfied that no further amount is liable to be awarded<\/p>\n
under the head of loss of amenities.\n<\/p>\n
      8.    The above discussions lead us to the conclusion that<\/p>\n
the appellant is entitled to the following further amounts by way<\/p>\n
of compensation in addition to the amounts awarded by the<\/p>\n
tribunal.\n<\/p>\n
1.    Loss of earnings                    =    Rs.3,000\/-\n      (Rs.3,000 x 3 = Rs.9,000\/-\n          minus Rs.6,000\/-)\n2.    Reduction in earning\n      capacity                            =    Rs.34,560\/-\n      (Rs.3,000\/- x 12 x 16 x 6\/100)\n\n                       Total               =   Rs.37,560\/-\n\n      9.    In the result,\n\n      a)    This M.A.C.A is allowed in part.\n\nM.A.C.A No.1297 of 2008           6<\/span>\n\n<\/pre>\n
     b)   In addition to the amounts awarded by the tribunal,<\/p>\n
the appellant is found entitled to a further amount of Rs.37,560\/-<\/p>\n
(Rupees thirty seven thousand five hundred and sixty only) as<\/p>\n
per the details shown above.\n<\/p>\n
     c)   Needless to say, the entire amount of compensation<\/p>\n
shall carry interest from the date of the petition to the date of<\/p>\n
payment at the rates awarded by the tribunal.<\/p>\n
     d)   All other directions of the tribunal are upheld. The<\/p>\n
tribunal shall issue fresh directions regarding deposit\/release.<\/p>\n
                                        (R.BASANT, JUDGE)<\/p>\n
                                      (M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE)<\/p>\n
