RUPINDER SINGH ALIAS RAJU Vs. KRISHAN AND ORS.

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE appeal is for enhancement of claim for compensation for injuries suffered in a motor accident. The evidence was that he had been hospitalized for three days. He was a Supervisor with a private contractor, earning Rs. 1,000/ -per month. The Tribunal, while assessing compensation, awarded Rs. 4,000/ - for medicines and Rs. 6,000/ - for pain and suffering. The overall compensation was Rs. 10,000/ -

(2.) THE learned Counsel states that the loss of income had not been given and the extent for transportation was also not given. Both these are pecuniary heads of compensation for which specific evidence is necessary. I would not make a conjecture on an aspect of the case where there is no evidence available. The overall compensation of Rs. 10,000/ - must be taken as going to satisfy the claim relating to loss of income as well as the transportation also. I will see no reason to make modification of the award. The appeal is dismissed.
