the amount appears to be on the lower side. Considering the fact situation obtaining in the present case and that the accident had occurred on 24.02.2001, an amount of Rs. 2,500/only appears to be just and proper as monthly contribution of the appellant-claimant for the purpose of assessing the compensation. In that case, her annual contribution is assessed at Rs. 30,000/-. There appears to be no evidence available on record as regards future medical expenses, loss of amenities of life and loss of expectation of life. Ascertainment of the affect of permanent disability on the actual earning capacity involves ascertainment of the activities the claimant could carry on in spite of the permanent disability, etc. As the assessment of percentage of loss of earning capacity of the appellantclaimant as a result of the permanent disability, arrived at and recorded by the Claims Tribunal, is not assailed by any of the parties, the same does not require a reconsideration. As a result of permanent disfigurement of the face of the appellant-claimant, who is a lady, as evident from Ext.-10, it appears that the pain and agony including mental agony will have a permanent existence. In such view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to increase the amount under that head to Rs. 50,000/-, instead of Rs. 10,000/-, as had been granted by the Claims Tribunal. In absence of any other documentary evidence as regards expenses incurred in medical treatment in the records, no additional amount can be granted under the said head. In the light of the above discussion, the total loss of earning is assessed at Rs. 2,25,000/-(=Rs.15,000/- X 15). As a result, the total compensation is assessed as Rs. 2,81,458/- (=Rs.2,25,000/- + Rs.1,458/- + Rs. 50,000/- + Rs. 5,000/-). It transpires from records that after the award, the respondent no. 1–insurer had deposited an amount of Rs. 1,48,630/- before the Claims Tribunal towards compliance of the award dated 10.06.2013 with interest. It further transpires that the said amount of Rs. 1,48,630/was disbursed in favour of the appellant-claimant on 12.09.2014. Therefore, the respondent no. 1 is directed to pay the enhanced amount of Rs. 1,39,500/- along with interest @ 8% per annum on the said enhanced amount from 16.07.2011 till the date of payment. The said amount shall be deposited by the respondent no. 1 before the Registry of this court within a period of 3 (three) months from today and on such deposit being made, the Registry shall disburse the said amount to the appellant-claimant in MAC Appeal No. 249/2015 (MAC Case No. 334/2004) on her due identification by his learned engaged counsel.
