The claimant’s main contention is that the evidence given by PWs 1 and 2 has not been appreciated thoroughly by the court below though it has been deposed by PW 1, the claimant, that he incurred medical expenditure of Rs.5,00,000/-, the court below granted only the amount of Rs.1,33,453/under the head of “medical expenditure”. The claimant’s income has been assessed at Rs.100/- per day and that the income so assessed is meager. It has been deposed consistently by PW 1 that he took treatment in Hosmat hospital at Bangalore. After he has been discharged from the said hospital as an outpatient, as advised by the doctor, he has taken treatment in the St.Johns hospital and Viswa Medicals, Madanapalle. Though there is evidence of PW 1 regarding the treatment taken by him in St.Johns hospital and Viswa Medicals, Madanapalle, the same has not been considered by the court below. The court below having believed that the petitioner is having the disability on account of receiving of fracture injury to right femur and to right leg, it has not awarded reasonable compensation under the head of “loss of earning power and loss of enjoyment in life” etc. Though evidence is there to believe that the petitioner has to undergo surgery for removal of implant by incurring expenditure of Rs.50,000/-, the court below has not granted any amount under the head of “future medical expenditure”, therefore, the intervention of this court is needed and reasonable compensation is to be granted to him taking into consideration the aforementioned aspects.
