12. The claimant filed an appeal in C.M.A.No.184 of 2014
for enhancement of the award dated 01.08.2011 passed by the
Tribunal. The Insurance Company filed an appeal in C.M.A.No.3078
of 2012, questioning the liability fixed on it. On 05.08.2007,
when the claimant was riding his motor cycle, the driver of the
first respondent drove the car from the opposite direction and
hit the claimant's vehicle, as a result of which, the claimant
sustained grievous injuries and fractures on both bone legs,
right thigh, laceration over right wrist, abrasion over right
forehead and multiple injuries all over the body. Immediately,
he was admitted in a hospital and he had taken treatment as an
in-patient in Government General Hospital from 05.08.2007 to
24.09.2007 and thereafter, from 08.10.2007 to 16.10.2007 and
again from 19.10.2009 and 06.11.2009. the claimant deposed that
he was working as Fire Fitter in H.M.T Industries and was
earning a sum of Rs.8,000/- per month. Except his oral evidence,
he did not produce any material to show that he was working as
Fire Fitter in H.M.T Industries. Therefore, the Tribunal had
rightly taken his monthly income as Rs.5,000/- per month. The
disability certificate was marked as Ex.P.13 through P.W.2, who
assessed the disability of the claimant at 65% in respect of the
injury sustained by him.
