KASHI NATH PRASAD Vs. TATA ENGINEERING AND LOCOMOTIVE

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is employer's appeal Section 30 of the Workmen Compensation Act against the order of the Workmen Compensation Commissioner, Gorakhpur awarding compensation to the workman for permanent total disablement of his right hand.

(2.) THE facts are not in dispute. What has been contended is that according to the doctor's evidence there was only 50% reduction in the earning capacity of the workman while the Workmen Compensation Commissioner has awarded compensation for total disablement. Learned Counsel submitted that only palm and fingers of the right hand had been crushed which cannot result in total reduction of his earning capacity.

(3.) IN the result the appeal fails and is accordingly dismissed with costs.
