19. As far as the compensation awarded for the partial permanent disablement ascertained at 25% is concerned, though the learned counsel would contend that there cannot be a fixed formula of Rs.1,000/- per percentage for arriving at a compensation payable on that head, in this context, I wish to be guided by a Division Bench decision of this Court reported in 2005(5)CTC pg745 [Bhagavathy M. vs. Thiruvalluvar Transport Corporation Limited], wherein the Division Bench was considering the case where the injured sustained a disability which was ascertained at 60%, the compensation on that head came to be awarded only in a sum of Rs.60,000/-. The Division Bench has held that for 60% disability, as per the formula basis, the award should be Rs.60,000/- meaning thereby for every percentage of disability, the compensation should be calculated at a sum of Rs.1,000/-. Therefore, following the Division Bench decision, it will have to be held that for the permanent disability of 25% assessed by the Tribunal, the appellant is entitled for a sum of Rs.25,000/-.

Tamilnadu State Transport Corporation ... vs V.Kumar on 29 January, 2007

21. The respondent/claimant would have experienced severe pain and suffering at the time of accident, during the period of treatment and post-operative period. Therefore, the award of Rs.10,000/- towards pain and suffering is reasonable. Considering the shock, mental pain and suffering experienced by the respondent/claimant due to the injuries sustained in the accident, a sum of Rs.7,500/- is awarded towards mental agony. The disability compensation of Rs.40,000/- as against 40% permanent disability assessed by the Doctor is also reasonable as per the judgment of this Court reported in 2005 (5) CTC 745 (M.Bhagavathy vs. Thiruvalluvar Transport Corporation).

M/S. National Insurance Co. Ltd vs Minor Sundarrajan @ on 12 January, 2009

7. The Tribunal has not justified the grant of such a huge amount for the disability. There is no proper reason for the same. For the disability assessed at 40%, the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- granted by the Tribunal cannot be justified. Even in respect of medical expenses, no material evidence has been let in and therefore, the sum of Rs.1,50,000/- on both heads stands set aside. However, the claimant is entitled to reasonable compensation on the head of disability, medical expenses, attender charges, transport expenses and extra nourishment which he is rightfully entitled to. Keeping in mind, the injury suffered and the period of treatment taken by the injured claimant in his young age and the Division Bench decision of this Court in Bhagavathy.M. vs. Thiruvalluvar Transport Corporation Limited reported in 2005 (5) C.T.C. 745, the award of the Tribunal stands modified as follows:-
