JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS appeal is by the claimant seeking enhancement of compensation awarded by the Tribunal.

(2.) HEARD . The appeal is admitted and with the consent of learned Counsel appearing for the parties, it is taken up for final disposal.

(3.) AS there is no dispute regarding injuries sustained by the claimant in a road traffic accident occurred on 17.09.2008 due to rash and negligent driving of Ford Icon car bearing registration No.KA -03 -MJ -45 by its driver and liability of the insurer of the offending vehicle, the only point that remains for my consideration in the appeal is: Whether quantum of compensation awarded by the Tribunal is just and proper or does it call for enhancement?
