Rs.3,000/- fixed in 1998 is reasonable. Regarding loss of earnings, the appellant was hospitalised twice between 24.1.1998 and 9.5.1998. In the above circumstances, the appellant is justified in claiming loss of earning for a period of 5 months. Hence an additional amount of Rs.6,000/- (3000x2) is awarded under that head. Regarding the claim for future treatment, no evidence has been let in and as such the Tribunal cannot be found fault for not granting any compensation towards future treatment. The bystander's expense has been allowed at Rs.150/- per day for 25 days of hospitalisation and since the accident happened in 1998, I find that the said amount is also reasonable. Having regard to the nature of the injuries and the difficulties that the appellant was facing as a result of the accident, I am of the opinion that amounts awarded towards pain and suffering and loss of amenities need to be enhanced to Rs.50,000/- each. The appellant will hence be entitled to an additional amount of Rs.35,000/- towards pain and suffering and an additional amount of Rs.40,000/- towards loss of amenities. Regarding the expenses towards transportation, it is pointed out that the appellant had to undergo four transportations at the time of hospitalisation and nine further transportations during the review, totalling to 13 occasions. The Tribunal has granted Rs.3,000/- towards transportation expenses. I am of the opinion
