Ex.A8 is the medical bill. Placing reliance on those oral and documentary evidence, the Tribunal has awarded Rs.15,000/- towards medical expenses. The actual amount incurred towards medical expenses by the appellant as per Ex.P8-Medical Bills, is Rs.39,420/-. Hence the Tribunal is not correct in awarding lesser amount. Therefore, the amount awarded by the Tribunal towards medical expenses stands modified to Rs.39,420/- . Further, it would be appropriate to enhance the amounts awarded by the Tribunal towards pain and suffering from Rs.10,000/- to Rs.15,000/-. transportation from Rs.500/- to Rs.1500/- and extra nourishment from Rs.500/- to Rs.1500/-. That apart, taking note of the fact that no amount was awarded towards "future medical expenses" and “attender charges”, this Court is inclined to award sums of Rs.25,000/- and Rs.8,000/- under those heads, respectively, as due to the injuries suffered by him, he would have incurred additional expenses after some time since he sustained fractures and that he would have necessarily required the assistance 4/7
