In case of motor accidents leading to in- juries and disablements, it is a well settled principle that a person must not only be com- pensated 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 tri- bunal and the court are statutorily charged with a responsibility of fixing a “just compen- sation”. 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 reason- able approach on the part of the tribunals and courts. This reasonableness on the part of the tribunal and court must be on a large periph- eral field.” 7- i=koyh ds voyksdu ls izdV gksrk gS fd ekeys dh ?kVuk fnukad 22-12-2020 dh crkbZ x;h gS rFkk oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks 54 o"kZ dh vk;q dk gksuk crkrs gq, xksnke dhij dk dk;Z dj 19]000@& #i;s izfrekg dh vk; vftZr djuk vo'; crk;k x;k gSA fdarq vihykFkhZ }kjk viuh vk; dk dksbZ Bksl izek.k fo}ku vf/kdj.k ds le{k izLrqr ugha fd;k gSA bu ifjfLFkfr;ksa esa fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dh dksbZ vk; fu/kkZfjr ugha dj vk; dh {kfr ds en esa vihykFkhZ dks dkfjr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk 21-88 izfr'kr ds vk/kkj ij ,deq'r 66]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k fnyokbZ xbZ gSA tcfd ;g lqLFkkfir fof/k gS fd ftu ekeyksa esa vkgr dh vk; izekf.kr ugha gks] ogka mls nSfud osru Hkksxh etnwj dh Js.kh esa j[kk tkdj rRle; [2025:RJ-JP:48383] (4 of 6) [CMA-2004/2025] izpfyr U;wure etnwjh dh nj ls gh mldh vk; fu/kkZfjr dh tk,xhA oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks xksnke dhij dk dk;Z djuk crk;k x;k gSA bu ifjfLFkfr;ksa esa ;g U;k;ky;] vihykFkhZ ds dk;Z dh izÑfr dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, o ?kVuk dh frfFk 22-12-2020 dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq,] oDr ?
