7. The next aspect that arises for our consideration is whether the amount of compensation awarded is justified. Mr. Anil Lala, learned Counsel for the appellant submitted that the appellant suffered 45 per cent permanent disability, therefore, the grant of Rs. 40,000 is unjust and inadequate. Mr. Nair has not disputed the fact that the claimant had availed the treatment and the permanent disability that has been adjudicated cannot be questioned.
8. In view of the aforesaid, we are inclined to think the amount of compensation has to be enhanced. It is acceptable that the permanent disability had occurred on the left shoulder. Dr. S.K. Jain, PW 3, who examined the claimant has opined that the claimant had suffered paralysis on the left side of the body due to injury on the left shoulder.
