7.Regarding the quantum of compensation, the Medical Board constituted
specially for the purpose of going into the extent of disability of the minor
petitioner has given a clear opinion that the disability is 60% and is
permanent in nature. Though the nature of the injuries and the disability
sustained by him may not have a serious bearing on his working and earning
capacity, as the penis of the minor petitioner is seriously damaged, the
petitioner is deprived of the future prospectus of getting married and the
enjoyment of his marital pleasure. Further, in the cases of minors, the
minor, due to deformity on his body, would likely to sustain more mental
shock and pain and sufferings, and he is likely to face inconvenience,
disappointment, etc. As observed by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the judgment
reported in 2013 (2) TN MAC 338 (SC) (Master Mallikarjun Vs. Divisional
Manager, National Insurance Co. Ltd., and another), the best part of his life
is yet to come and the compensation to be awarded should enable the child to
acquire something or to develop a lifestyle which will offset the pain,
shock, frustration inconvenience and discomfort arising out of disability.
