United India Insurance Co. Ltd. vs Shyam Kumar And Ors. on 15 July, 2005
7. So far as amount under the head of loss of leave is concerned , as
per certificate Ex.P/34, on account of injuries sustained in the accident
appellant was on sick leave. From Ex.P/34 and other evidence on
record it is not established that on account of injuries sustained in the
accident appellant was forced to take earned leave. Apparently, sick
leave cannot be utilized for any other purpose whatsoever, therefore,
appellant cannot be awarded any amount under the head of loss of
leave. Hence, in view of above, principle laid down in Shyam Kumar
(supra) does not help appellant in any way.
