Sl.

Aggrieved against the said order, the claimant has preferred this Appeal. 6. In the grounds of Appeal, the appellant/claimant contended that the Tribunal has committed an error in awarding a compensation of only Rs.70,500/- by applying contributory negligence against the appellant, which is not a proper one. The Tribunal failed to take note of the injuries sustained by the claimant and also the period of treatment taken by the claimant as inpatient and also the pain and sufferings and mental agony sustained by the claimant. The other grounds raised by the appellant is that 50% contributory negligence fixed by the Tribunal on the basis of non-possession of valid driving licence by the claimant to drive the two-wheeler at the time of accident is not a reasonable one, when the First Information Report is against the driver of the first respondent and there was no contra evidence placed by the respondent against the allegation of rash and negligent driving, which resulted in the accident. The sum awarded under various heads, as claimed by the appellant, also are very much on the meagre side and therefore, the appellant sought for enhancement of compensation and also aggrieved against the contributory negligence fixed on the claimant/ appellant.
