Sh. Balram Yadav vs Ashok Kumar on 1 November, 2007
So the judgment relied
upon by the ld. counsel for the respondent no. 3 in case titled as Subhash
Chand Vs. Rulda Singh and another (supra) is not applicable to the facts of
the present case, in view of the fact that in that case the Disability Certificate
demonstrates only 25% permanent disability regarding right limb and lateron
tribunal assessed to 10% permanent disability with regarding to whole body. In
the present case since the permanent disability is 25% in the certificate in
relation to the whole body, hence, in view of these facts, I take permanent
disability of the petitioner as 25% with regard to the whole body. Petitioner in
15
his evidence has stated that this accident has effected his remaining life and
carrier and he will not be able to perform his duty and daily routine work as
earlier and as a policeman and his job requires good health and complete
fitness but future prospects of services and chance of promotion will be badly
affected due to his permanent disablement. However, petitioner has not
produced any witness from his department to prove that the injuries received
by the petitioner would affect his promotions. I have assessed the permanent
disability of the petitioner as 25%, so compensation for his 25% permanent
disability shall be about Rs.3,500/ per month, which shall be Rs. 42,000/
annually. The age of the petitioner is taken as 45 years at the time of
accident, so a multiplier of 15 is adopted for compensation on account of
permanent disability. Thus, a sum of Rs.6,30,000/ is to be paid to the
petitioner as compensation for the permanent disability. So, keeping in view
the nature of injuries, income of the petitioner and age of the petitioner, I find
it justified that it would be in the interest of justice if a sum of Rs.6,30,000/ is
paid to the petitioner on account of compensation for the permanent disability.
