which in the interest of justice may be condoned. He further submits that the cross-objector, in good faith, had misconstrued the accurate deadline for filing the cross objection. Learned counsel for the cross objector submits that the delay is bonafide and unintentional, therefore, the same may be condoned. Learned counsel for the claimant submits that the learned Tribunal has awarded a meager sum of Rs.87,800/- as compensation, which is on lower side, looking to the nature of injuries the claimant had suffered in the said accident. Learned counsel for the claimant submits that the claimant had suffered 15% permanent disability and the said fact was amply proved by the claimant by exhibiting medical certificate (Ex.12) issued by the competent authority, however, the same has not been considered by the learned Tribunal. Learned counsel for the claimant/cross-objector further submits that no amount towards future prospects has been awarded by the learned Tribunal while computing the quantum of compensation. He further submits that the interest awarded by the learned Tribunal @ 6% p.a. also deserves to be enhanced to 12% p.a. Learned counsel for the claimant further submits that for the injuries suffered by the claimant, he remained hospitalized for two months, however, the learned Tribunal has awarded meager amount of Rs.6800/- for medical bills, whereas the bills submitted were of much higher amount. Learned counsel for the claimant thus submits that the compensation be enhanced appropriately. 11. I have considered the submissions made by counsel for the appellant and the cross-objector and perused the material available on record.
