In case of motor accidents leading to injuries and disablements, it is a well settled principle that a person must not only be compensated for his physical injury, but also for the non-pecuniary losses which he has suffered due to the injury. The claimant is entitled to be compensated for his inability to lead a full life, and enjoy those things and amenities which he would have enjoyed, but for the injuries." "13. The purpose of compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act is to fully and adequately restore the aggrieved to the position prior to the accident. This Court in Yadava Kumar v. National Insurance Co. Ltd. explained “just compensation” in the following words:" "15. It goes without saying that in matters of determination of compensation both the tribunal and the court are statutorily charged with a responsibility of fixing a “just compensation”. It is obviously true that determination of a just compensation cannot be equated to a bonanza. At the same time the concept of “just compensation” obviously suggests application of fair and equitable principles and a reasonable approach on the part of the tribunals and courts. This reasonableness on the part of the tribunal and court must be on a large peripheral field.” 8- i=koyh ds voyksdu ls izdV gksrk gS fd ekeys dh ?kVuk fnukad 26-04-2012 dh crkbZ x;h gS rFkk oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks 25 o"kZ dh vk;q dk gksuk crkrs gq, [kYYkklh dk dk;Z dj rFkk nqX/k Ms;jh o Ñf"k dk;Z dj izfrekg 15]000@& #i;s vk; vftZr djuk vo'; crk;k x;k gSA fdUrq vihykFkhZ }kjk viuh vk; dk dksbZ Bksl izek.k fo}ku vf/kdj.k ds le{k izLrqr ugha fd;k x;k gSA bu ifjfLFkfr;ksa esa vf/kdj.k }kjk oDr ?kVuk [2025:RJ-JP:51825] (5 of 9) [CMA-1687/2015] vihykFkhZ ds dk;Z dh izÑfr dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, mldh ekfld vk; 3]500@& #i;s fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ gSA ?kVuk fnukad 26-04-2012 dh crkbZ x;h gS rFkk oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks [kYyklh dk dk;Z djuk crk;k x;k gSA bu ifjfLFkfr;ksa esa ;g U;k;ky; vihykFkhZ ds dk;Z dh izÑfr rFkk ?kVuk dh frfFk dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks vdq'ky Jfed gksuk ekurs gq, mldh nSfud vk; 147@& #i;s izfrfnu] rn~uqlkj ekfld vk; 147 x 30 = 4]410@& #i;s fu/kkZfjr fd;k tkuk mfpr le>rh gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dh mDr fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; ij Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh c<+ksrjh ds en esa dksbZ Hkfo"; o`f) ugha dh x;h gSA Dyse ;kfpdk esa oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks 25 o"kZ dh vk;q gksuk crk;k x;k gSA pwafd oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ 25 o"kZ dh vk;q dk Lofu;ksftr O;olk;h FkkA ,slh fLFkfr esa us'kuy ba';ksjsal dEiuh fyfeVsM cuke iz.k; lsBh o vU; fjiksVsZM bu ¼2017½ 16 ,l-lh-lh- 680 esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj vihykFkhZ dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, mldh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; 4]410@& #i;s esa 40 izfr'kr dh c<+ksrjh fd;k tkuk visf{kr gSA 4]410@& #i;s dk 40 izfr'kr 1]764@& #i;s gksrk gSA mDr 40 izfr'kr jkf'k dks fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; esa tksM+s tkus ds mijkar vihykFkhZ dh dqy 'kq) ekfld vk; 6]174@& #i;s gksrh gS tks {kfriwfrZ fu/kkZj.k dk vk/kkj jgsxhA 9- gLrxr nq?kZVuk esa vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj ds fofHkUu Hkkxksa esa o 'kjhj ds fupys fgLls esa xaHkhj pksVsa dkfjr gqbZ gSa] ftlls vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj dk fupyk fgLlk iw.kZr;k ydokxzLr gks x;k] ftuds lkewfgd izHkko ls vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj esa dqy 100 izfr’kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk vkuk ik;k x;k gS] tSlk fd LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk izek.k&i= izn'kZ&21 ds voyksdu ls Li"V gSA fdUrq fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; }kjk ikfjr U;kf;d n`"Vkar jkt dqekj cuke vt; dqekj o vU; fjiksVsZM bu ¼2011½ 1 ,llhlh 343 ds ekeys esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr dh jks'kuh esa vihykFkhZ ds [2025:RJ-JP:51825] (6 of 9) [CMA-1687/2015] dkfjr gqbZ 100 izfr'kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk dks lEiw.kZ 'kjhj ds ifjisz{; esa 50 izfr'kr gksuk vkadk x;k gSA 10- bl laca/k esa ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; }kjk ikfjr U;kf;d n`"VkUr Prakash Chand Sharma Vs.

Since that course of action has not been adopted, the opinion of the Medical Board, being an opinion of the experts is to be treated as such.
