another {2004 (2) TN MAC 16 (FB) (MP) }, wherein it is inter alia observed that
'mere fracture of bones and its re-union will not amount to permanent total
disablement or permanent partial disablement, unless doctor examined claimant
and assessed percentage of disability after performing scientific tests and
without performing scientific tests, bald Statement of doctor and certificate
are inadmissible in evidence and that the visual opinion of doctor has no
evidentiary value and that the Claims Tribunal must assign reasons in arriving
at conclusion in case of permanent/partial disablement and in the absence of
evidence regarding scientific tests to determine percentage of disability, the
Claims Tribunals should take guidance from Schedule of Workmen's Compensation
Act.'.
