CAV JUDGMENT

This appeal is filed by the claimant seeking enhancement of compensation being aggrieved by the judgment and award dated 17.08.2017 passed in MVC No.1761/2015 by the Court of the IV Additional District and Sessions Judge, Hassan District (for short, ‘Tribunal’).

2. Though this appeal is listed for orders, with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties, it is taken up for final disposal.

3. Sri.R.P.Somashekaraiah and Smt.Geetha.M.R, learned counsels for the appellant submit that the Tribunal has erred in assessing the income and disability of the claimant as no compensation is awarded under the head of loss of income due to disability. It is submitted that the Tribunal, without appreciating the evidence on record has awarded a meagre compensation under all the other heads, which is required to be enhanced. Hence, they seek to allow the appeal.

4. Per contra, Sri.B.C.Seetharama Rao,
