The Tribunal awarded only an<\/p>\n<p>amount of Rs.1,48,000\/-.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_1\">     2.    The appellant was aged 35 years. He was allegedly<\/p>\n<p>working as a sales representative of a tobacco wholesale<\/p>\n<p>business man. He was allegedly earning an income of Rs.4165\/-<\/p>\n<p>per mensum as per Ext.A13 certificate issued by the employer.<\/p>\n<p>He had suffered multiple fracture. Fracture of tibia and fibula,<\/p>\n<p>dislocation and fracture of left scapula bone, fracture of radius<\/p>\n<p>right, fracture of ulna right are major injuries suffered. He was<\/p>\n<p>an in-patient of the Medical College Hospital for three spells for<\/p>\n<p>a total period of 90 days. His disability was assessed by the<\/p>\n<p>Doctor in Ext.A12 disability certificate at 30%. The appellant<\/p>\n<p>examined himself as PW1. Exts.A1 to A16 were marked on his<\/p>\n<p>side.   The Tribunal, on an anxious consideration of all the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">M.A.C.A.No.1457\/05              2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>relevant inputs came to the conclusion that the appellant is<\/p>\n<p>entitled to a total amount of Rs.1,48,000\/- as per the details<\/p>\n<p>shown below:\n<\/p>\n<pre id=\"pre_1\">      Loss of earnings                Rs.20,000\/-\n      (Rs.2,500 x 8)\n\n      Medical and Miscellaneous\n      expenses (against bills         Rs.12,000\/-\n      produced)\n\n      Pain and suffering              Rs.12,000\/-\n\n      Loss of amenities               Rs.8,000\/-\n\n      Loss of earning capacity\n      consequent to disability        Rs.96,000\/-\n      (2,500 x 12 x 16 x 20\/100)\n\n                      Total           Rs.1,48,000\/-\n\n\n<\/pre>\n<p id=\"p_2\">      3.   The appellant claims to be aggrieved by the quantum<\/p>\n<p>of compensation awarded. Called upon to explain the precise<\/p>\n<p>nature of challenge which the learned counsel for the appellant<\/p>\n<p>wants to mount against the impugned award, the learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the appellant first of all contends that the monthly<\/p>\n<p>income reckoned by the Tribunal at Rs.2,500\/- is not justified.<\/p>\n<p>There was no reason to reject Ext.A13 salary certificate which<\/p>\n<p>shows the income to be Rs.4160\/- per mensum, contends the<\/p>\n<p>counsel. Author of Ext.A13 has not been examined. According<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">M.A.C.A.No.1457\/05                3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>to us, the Tribunal did not commit any error warranting<\/p>\n<p>appellate interference for not swallowing Ext.A13 which was not<\/p>\n<p>strictly proved. Reckoning the monthly income of Rs.2,500\/- per<\/p>\n<p>mensum, does not, in these circumstances, appear to be<\/p>\n<p>unreasonable or unjust.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">      4.   The learned counsel for the appellant then contends<\/p>\n<p>that, at any rate, the acceptance of only 20% as the physical<\/p>\n<p>disability is not justified.   We have been taken through the<\/p>\n<p>disability certificate Ext.A12 in detail. Instances of impairment<\/p>\n<p>of physical faculties is narrated in detail on 15 specific aspects in<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A12. Of course, the Tribunal was correct in taking note of<\/p>\n<p>the fact that the appellant had not chosen to examine the author<\/p>\n<p>of Ext.A12. But all the same, the Tribunal was satisfied that<\/p>\n<p>there was disability. We have no semblance of doubt in our mind<\/p>\n<p>that the appellant has suffered disability. The short question<\/p>\n<p>that arises in our mind is whether the Tribunal is justified in<\/p>\n<p>reducing the percentage of disability fixed by the doctor at 30%<\/p>\n<p>to 20%. To ascertain the quantum of compensation payable for<\/p>\n<p>reduction in earning capacity, physical disability can only be an<\/p>\n<p>indicator.   We are satisfied, considering the nature of the<\/p>\n<p>disabilities narrated that the percentage of disability can safely<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_2\">M.A.C.A.No.1457\/05                 4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>be reckoned at 25%. The appellant will consequently be entitled<\/p>\n<p>for a further amount of Rs.24,000\/- i.e. (2,500 x 12 x 16 x<\/p>\n<p>25\/100 minus 96,000).\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">     5.     The learned counsel for the appellant then submits<\/p>\n<p>that the compensation awarded for loss of amenities at<\/p>\n<p>Rs.8,000\/- is totally insufficient. The physical disability suffered<\/p>\n<p>by the appellant must necessarily have a reflection on the quality<\/p>\n<p>of enjoyment of life by the appellant for the reminder of his life.<\/p>\n<p>The Tribunal was not realistic and reasonable in awarding only<\/p>\n<p>an amount of Rs.8,000\/- as compensation under this head,<\/p>\n<p>contends the learned counsel for the appellant.              In the<\/p>\n<p>circumstances of this case, considering the age of the appellant<\/p>\n<p>at the time of the accident as also the nature of the disability<\/p>\n<p>narrated in Ext.A12, we are inclined to agree with the learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the appellant. We are satisfied that award of an<\/p>\n<p>amount of Rs.20,000\/- under the head of loss of amenities would<\/p>\n<p>be totally justified.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">     6.     The above discussions lead us to the conclusion that<\/p>\n<p>the appellant is entitled for a further amount of Rs.12,000\/-<\/p>\n<p>under the head of loss of amenities and a further amount of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.24,000\/- under the head of reduction in earning capacity<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_3\">M.A.C.A.No.1457\/05               5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>consequent to disability as detailed above.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_6\">     7.    The learned counsel for the appellant contends that<\/p>\n<p>interest has been awarded only @ 6% per annum. It is submitted<\/p>\n<p>that interest must have been awarded at least @ 7.5% per<\/p>\n<p>annum as already accepted in several binding precedents. We<\/p>\n<p>agree with the learned counsel for the appellant.<\/p>\n<pre id=\"pre_2\">\n\n     8.    In the result,\n\n     a)    This M.A.C.A is allowed.\n\n     b)    The impugned award is modified.\n\n     c)    It is directed that the appellant shall be entitled to a\n\n<\/pre>\n<p id=\"p_7\">further amount of Rs.36,000\/- (Rupees thirty six thousand only)<\/p>\n<p>along with interest on the entire amount of compensation @7.5%<\/p>\n<p>per annum from the date of the petition. Directions regarding<\/p>\n<p>cost and disbursement of the amount are also upheld.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">                                           (R.BASANT, JUDGE)<\/p>\n<p>                                     (C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE)<br \/>\njsr<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_4\">M.A.C.A.No.1457\/05    6<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_5\">M.A.C.A.No.1457\/05    7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>R.BASANT &amp;C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JJ.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\">\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_6\">                 .No. of 200<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p_10\">        ORDER\/JUDGMENT<\/p>\n<p>                 06\/02\/2009<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Sudheesh Raj vs George on 19 February, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM MACA.No. 1457 of 2005() 1.
