Thomas P.Joseph, J.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
       Appellant, a house wife aged about 46 years at the relevant time met<\/p>\n
with a motor accident on 6.3.2004 and suffered serious injuries. She alleged that<\/p>\n
while she was attempting to board a bus, the offending bus driven by the first<\/p>\n
respondent in rash and negligent manner came from behind and hit her. She<\/p>\n
claimed Rs.6 lakhs as compensation. Learned Tribunal found that the accident<\/p>\n
occurred due to the rashness and negligence of the first respondent and<\/p>\n
awarded Rs.1,87,900\/- as compensation. Appellant is aggrieved by the quantum<\/p>\n
of compensation and has come up in appeal.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
       2.    Heard counsel for the appellant and contesting respondent.<\/p>\n
       3.    Point for consideration is whether the appellant is entitled to get<\/p>\n
enhanced compensation.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
       4.    The Point.\n<\/p>\n
MACA No.627\/2006<\/p>\n
                                        2<\/span><\/p>\n
       Finding of the Tribunal regarding cause of accident having become final,<\/p>\n
what remained for consideration is only whether the appellant is entitled to get<\/p>\n
enhanced compensation.        It is contended by the learned counsel that<\/p>\n
compensation awarded on all counts are low. It is also contended that the<\/p>\n
monthly income of the appellant fixed by the Tribunal is low.<\/p>\n
       5.     According to the appellant, she was helping her husband in his<\/p>\n
business and earning Rs.8,000\/- per month. Tribunal was not inclined to accept<\/p>\n
that claim and fixed the notional monthly income of the appellant at Rs.1,500\/-.<\/p>\n
Appellant was aged about 46 years at the time of accident. Even if it is assumed<\/p>\n
that there is no evidence to show that the appellant was helping her husband in<\/p>\n
his business and was getting monthly income as claimed, her services to the<\/p>\n
family cannot be ignored and has to be valued in terms of money for            the<\/p>\n
purpose of assessment of compensation. Considering the age of the appellant,<\/p>\n
the extent of service she was doing to her family and also taking into account the<\/p>\n
wages payable even to unskilled labourers in Kerala during the relevant time,<\/p>\n
we are inclined to fix the value of her services to the family at Rs.2,000\/- per<\/p>\n
month.\n<\/p>\n
MACA No.627\/2006<\/p>\n
                                           3<\/span><\/p>\n
       6.     Ext.A2 is the copy of the wound certificate. Appellant suffered the<\/p>\n
following injuries:-\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                            “1. 15 cm. x 17 cm. deglaring wound<\/p>\n
                     over the medial aspect of right side.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                     2. A full crush shine flap avulsion from the lateral<\/p>\n
                     aspect of doresum right foot, tendons and bones<\/p>\n
                     exposed.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                     3. Fracture of medial and lateral malleolus<\/p>\n
                     fractures right side.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                     4. Fracture of tibia right side.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It is revealed from the evidence that appellant underwent inpatient treatment for<\/p>\n
70 days. Considering the nature of injuries and period of treatment, Tribunal<\/p>\n
awarded compensation towards loss of earning for a period of four months ( at<\/p>\n
the rate of Rs.1,500\/- per month). We have found the notional monthly income<\/p>\n
of the appellant as Rs.2,000\/-. Hence at that rate, appellant is entitled to get<\/p>\n
MACA No.627\/2006<\/p>\n
                                         4<\/span><\/p>\n
compensation towards loss of earnings for four months which brings the amount<\/p>\n
payable to Rs.8,000\/- (Rs.2,000 x 4) and less the sum of Rs.6,000\/- already<\/p>\n
awarded by the Tribunal,     appellant will get a further sum of Rs.2,000\/- on that<\/p>\n
count.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
       7.      For treatment expenses, Tribunal awarded Rs.1,11,700\/- taking<\/p>\n
into account Ext.A5 series, medical bills. Counsel contended that even after<\/p>\n
filing the application for compensation appellant had to undergo treatment and<\/p>\n
in support of that claim, produced Annexure-A3. In Annexure-A3 issued from<\/p>\n
KMC Hospital, Mangalore, it is stated that appellant underwent treatment in that<\/p>\n
hospital since 6.3.2002 for open fracture, dislocated right ankle with degloving<\/p>\n
injury right lower leg and that skin grafting was done. Annexure-A3 certificate<\/p>\n
was issued on 6.9.2006. Annexure-A2 is the discharge summary issued from<\/p>\n
that hospital. There also, details of the treatment are given. Considering these<\/p>\n
aspects and also taking into account the fact that the entire treatment expenses<\/p>\n
may not have been reflected by the bills produced, we are inclined to award a<\/p>\n
further sum of Rs.5,000\/- towards treatment expenses.<\/p>\n
MACA No.627\/2006<\/p>\n
                                        5<\/span><\/p>\n
       8.     For pain and suffering, Tribunal awarded Rs.10,000\/- as<\/p>\n
compensation.     We found that appellant sustained serious injuries including<\/p>\n
fracture and underwent prolonged inpatient treatment (for about 70 days).<\/p>\n
Considering the nature of injuries and the period of treatment, we are inclined to<\/p>\n
think that compensation awarded for pain and suffering is on the lower side and<\/p>\n
hence, a further sum of Rs.5,000\/- is awarded on that count.<\/p>\n
       9.     So far as disability and loss of earning power are concerned, in<\/p>\n
Ext.X2 issued by the Medical Board the percentage of disability    for the whole<\/p>\n
body is certified as 25% which the Tribunal accepted. Considering the age of<\/p>\n
the appellant, 13 was taken as multiplier which we find no reason to interfere<\/p>\n
and taking the notional monthly income as Rs.1,500\/-,         Rs .58,500\/- was<\/p>\n
awarded as compensation. We have fixed the notional monthly income of the<\/p>\n
appellant as Rs.2,000\/-. Hence appellant is entitled to get compensation for<\/p>\n
disability and loss of earning power on that basis ((2,000x12x13x25)\/100) which<\/p>\n
comes to Rs.78,000\/- and less Rs.58,500\/- already awarded by the Tribunal,<\/p>\n
appellant will get Rs.19,500\/- more on that count.<\/p>\n
       10.    Though it is contended by the learned counsel that compensation<\/p>\n
awarded on      other counts are also low, on going through the award and<\/p>\n
MACA No.627\/2006<\/p>\n
                                         6<\/span><\/p>\n
considering the evidence as well as all the relevant circumstances and factors<\/p>\n
we are not persuaded         to accept that contention.      Thus, the additional<\/p>\n
compensation payable to the appellant is Rs.31,500\/-. That amount will carry<\/p>\n
interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum from the date of application till realization.<\/p>\n
       This Appeal therefore,      is allowed in part.      Over and above the<\/p>\n
compensation awarded by the Tribunal, appellant is allowed to realise a further<\/p>\n
sum of Rs.31,500\/- (Rupees Thirtyone thousand and five hundred only) with<\/p>\n
7.5% interest per annum from date of application till realisation from respondents<\/p>\n
1 to 3, jointly and severally. Third respondent being the insurer is directed to<\/p>\n
deposit that amount in the Tribunal and on such deposit, appellant is permitted<\/p>\n
to withdraw the same.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
