[2010 (2) KLT 802 (SC)] and subsequently in National Insurance Company Ltd. v. Pranay Sethi [2017 (4) KLT 662 (SC)] and in view of the fact that the appellant was aged 45 years during the relevant time, retaining the multiplier at 15 as taken by the Tribunal, the compensation towards Permanent Disablement and Loss of Earning Power is computed as Rs.1,57,500/- (3,500x12x15x25/100=1,57,500/-). Based on the same figure of Rs.3,500/- as monthly income, the loss of earnings for 9 months is recomputed at Rs.3,500x9=Rs.31,500/- instead of Rs.18,000/- awarded by the Tribunal. Taking note of the nature of injuries suffered by the appellant, which have been noted by the Tribunal as of extensive nature, it is just and reasonable that the amount of Rs.25,000/- awarded by the Tribunal under the head of Pain and suffering is enhanced to Rs.40,000/- ie., an enhancement of Rs.15,000/- The compensation for loss of amenities allowed by the Tribunal is Rs.15,000/- is accordingly enhanced by Rs.10,000/- to Rs.25,000/-. I do not find any other ground existing to interfere with the amount of compensation awarded by the Tribunal under the other heads.
