of accident, the appellant/claimant was a driver, and due to the accident, the appellant had suffered fractures in his right hand and right leg, and he is not in a position to perform his work well as before. The main grievance of the appellant is that, while fixing the notional income of the appellant/injured at a sum of Rs.9,000/- per month, the Tribunal has wrongly deducted 60% of his monthly income i.e., Rs.3,000/- towards his personal expenses, since it is applicable only in the case of fatal. Further, he submitted that, at the time of accident, the appellant was aged about 29 years, and had earned a sum of Rs.21,000/- per month. Without considering the same, the Tribunal had erroneously fixed the notional income of the appellant at Rs.9,000/- per month, which is on the lower side, and the same needs to be modified by this Court. Further, he contended that, the Tribunal has awarded a sum of Rs.20,000/altogether under the heads of “pain and suffering”, “extra nourishments” and “future medical expenses”, which is also on the lower side, and the same may be enhanced by this Court. Accordingly, he prayed for appropriate enhancement in favour of the appellant.
