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 27-01-2021 dh crkbZ x;h gS rFkk Dyse ;kfpdk esa oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ [2025:RJ-JP:52003] (4 of 7) [CMA-2253/2024] dks 23 o"kZ dh vk;q dk gksuk crkrs gq, V~;w'ku o d`f"k dk dk;Z dj 30]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 rRle; izpfyr U;wure etnwjh nj ds vk/kkj ij vihykFkhZ dks vdq'ky Jfed gksuk ekurs gq, mldh ekfld vk; dh x.kuk 252@& #i;s izfrfnu dh nj ls 26 fnol dh etnwjh ds vk/kkj ij djrs gq, 6]552@& #i;s izfrekg fu/kkZfjr dh x;h gSA tcfd vihykFkhZ dh vk; dh x.kuk 30 fnol ds vk/kkj ij fd;k tkuk visf{kr gSA rn~uqlkj vihykFkhZ dh vk; 252 x 30 = 7]560@& #i;s izfrekg fu/kkZfjr dh tkrh gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ ds pksV izfrosnu izn'kZ&7 ds vk/kkj ij oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks 25 o"kZ dh vk;q dk Lofu;ksftr O;olk;h gksuk ekuk x;k gSA ,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; 7]560@& #i;s esa 40 izfr'kr dh c<+ksrjh fd;k tkuk visf{kr gSA 7]560@& #i;s dk 40 izfr'kr 3]024@& #i;s gksrk gSA mDr 10 izfr'kr jkf'k dks fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; esa tksM+s tkus ds mijkar vihykFkhZ dh dqy 'kq) ekfld vk; 10]584@& #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 flj esa xaHkhj pksVsa dkfjr gqbZ gSaA vihykFkhZ ds dkfjr pksVksa ds lkewfgd izHkko ls vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj esa dqy 20 izfr’kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk vkuk ik;k x;k gS] tSlk fd LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk izek.k&i= izn'kZ&14 ds voyksdu ls Li"V gSA fdUrq fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ ds LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= esa n'kkZ;h x;h 20 izfr'kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk dks lEiw.kZ 'kjhj ds ifjisz{; eas 10 izfr'kr vkadk x;k gSA [2025:RJ-JP:52003] (5 of 7) [CMA-2253/2024] 10- bl laca/k esa ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; }kjk ikfjr U;kf;d n`"VkUr Prakash Chand Sharma Vs.

The Tribunal questioned the competence of the Medical Board to assess the perman- ent disability of the claimant-appellant, terming the certificate of the Medical Board as not completely reliable. If the Tribunal had reason to doubt the medical certificate, the option available before it was to have the disability re-assessed but it could not have gone into the details of the determination of disability. 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. That apart, the comatose state of the claimant-appellant is not in dis- pute.” 11- bl izdkj mijksDr U;kf;d n`"Vkar esa ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; }kjk ;g ekuk x;k gS fd fo}ku vf/kdj.k] LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= esa n'kkZ;h x;h LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk dks fdlh izdkj ls de ugha dj ldrkA ;fn fo}ku vf/kdj.k dks LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= ds laca/k esa lansg Fkk rks og LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk ds laca/k esa iqu% fo'ks"kK dh jk; izkIr dj ldrk FkkA vU;Fkk ,slh fLFkfr esa esfMdy cksMZ ds fo'ks"kKksa }kjk LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= esa tks LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk n'kkZ;h x;h gS] og iw.kZ LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk fo'ks"kKksa dh jk; vuqlkj ;Fkkor ekuh tkosxhA 12- gLrxr ekeys esa LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= izn'kZ&14 jktdh; fpfdRlky; ds esfMdy cksMZ }kjk tkjh fd;k x;k gSA vr% izdk'k pUn 'kekZ ¼mijksDr½ ds ekeys esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj gLrxr ekeys esa ge] vihykFkhZ ds LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= izn'kZ&14 esa vafdr 20 izfr'kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk dks lEiw.kZ 'kjhj ds ifjizs{; esa 20 izfr'kr vkadk tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA [2025:RJ-JP:52003] (6 of 7) [CMA-2253/2024] 13- vr% vihykFkhZ dks dkfjr gqbZ 20 izfr'kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk ds vk/kkj ij ge] vihykFkhZ dks vk; dh {kfr Hkh 20 izfr’kr gksuk ikrs gSaA vihykFkhZ dh oDr ?kVuk vk; 10]584@& #i;s izfrekg fu/kkZfjr dh x;h gS] rn~uqlkj vihykFkhZ dh ekfld vk; 10]584@& #i;s dk 20 izfr’kr 2]117@& #i;s gksrk gS tks vihykFkhZ dks Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh ekfld {kfr gSA oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks 25 o"kZ vk;q dk ekuk x;k gS] ftldk [k.Mu ugha gks ldk gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa ljyk oekZ o vU; cuke nsgyh VªkaliksVZ dkWiksZjs'ku o vU; fjiksVsZM bu ¼2009½ 6 ,l-lh-lh- 121 rFkk iz.k; lsBh ¼mijksDr½ ds ekeyksa esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj vihykFkhZ dks Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh {kfriwfrZ dh x.kuk gsrq vihykFkhZ dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, 18 dk xq.kd yxk;k tkuk visf{kr gSA rn~uqlkj vihykFkhZ dks Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh dqy {kfr 2]117 x 12 x 18 = 4]57]272@& #i;s gksrh gS tks vihykFkhZ izkIr djus dk vf/kdkjh gSA 14- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks nks lk/kkj.k o ,d xaHkhj pksVksa ds dkj.k ihM+k o d"V dh en esa 22]500@& #i;s] esfMdy fcyksa dh en esa 49]084@& #i;s] vLirky esa HkrhZ jgus dh en esa 8]000@& #i;s] ikSf"Vd vkgkj dh en esa 4]000@& #i;s rFkk ;krk;kr o ifjogu dh en esa 10]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k fnyokbZ xbZ gS] vr% mDr enksa esa fnyokbZ xbZ jkf'k esa ge dksbZ gLr{ksi fd;k tkuk mfpr ugha le>rs gSaA 15- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks mipkj vof/k ds nkSjku gqbZ 8 fnol dh vk; dh {kfr dh en esa 2]016@& #i;s dh jkf'k fnyokbZ xbZ gSa] ftls la'kksf/kr djrs gq, vihykFkhZ dh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; 7]560@& #i;s ds vk/kkj ij 2 ekg dh vk; dh {kfr dh en esa 15]120@& #i;s dh jkf'k ge vihykFkhZ dks fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA 16- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh lq[k&lqfo/kk dh en esa dksbZ jkf'k ugha fnyokbZ xbZ gSA vr% ge vihykFkhZ dks Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh lq[k&lqfo/kk dh en esa 20]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k i`Fkd ls fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA [2025:RJ-JP:52003] (7 of 7) [CMA-2253/2024] 17- mDrkuqlkj vihykFkhZ@DysesaV fuEu izdkj ls {kfriwfrZ jkf'k izkIr djus dk vf/kdkjh gS %& Øe la[;k 'kh"kZ@en bl fu.kZ; ds rgr fu/kkZfjr dh x;h jkf’k 1- Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; vtZu dh {kerk esa deh ds en esa 4]57]272@& :Ik;s 2- nks lk/kkj.k o ,d xaHkhj pksVksa dh en esa 22]500@& #i;s 3- esfMdy fcyksa dh en esa 49]084@& #i;s 4- vLirky esa HkrhZ jgus dh en esa 8]000@& #i;s 5- ikSf"Vd vkgkj dh en esa 4]000@& #i;ss 6- ifjogu ,oa ;krk;kr dh en esa 10]000@& #i;ss 7- 2 ekg dh vk; dh {kfr dh en esa 15]120@& #i;s 8- Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh lq[k&lqfo/kk dh en esa 20]000@& #i;s 9- bl U;k;ky; }kjk fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k 5]85]976@& #i;s 10- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk fnyokbZ xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k 1]89]944@& #i;s 11- c<+ksrjh i'pkr {kfriwfrZ jkf'k esa varj 3]96]032@& #i;s 18- rnuqlkj ;g vihy vkaf’kd :i ls Lohdkj dh tkdj fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk ikfjr iapkV] ftlds }kjk fd vihykFkhZ@DysesaV dks 1]89]944@& :i;s fnyok;s tkus dk vkns'k ikfjr fd;k x;k gS] ds LFkku ij 5]85]976@& :i;s dk iapkV ikfjr fd;k tkrk gSA mDr jkf'k ij fu;ekuqlkj vk;dj dVkSrh dh tk,xhA vihykFkhZ }kjk iwoZ esa izkIr dh x;h jkf’k dks iapkV jkf’k esa ls lek;ksftr fd;k tkdj 'ks"k jkf’k vihykFkhZ izkIr djus dk vf/kdkjh ik;k tkrk gSaA 19- bl vkns'k }kjk c<+kbZ xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k ij ;kfpdk nk;j djus dh frfFk ls vihykFkhZ] 8 izfr'kr okf"kZd C;kt izkIr djus dk vf/kdkjh gSA 20- rnuqlkj ;g vihy fuLrkfjr dh tkrh gSA 21- lHkh yfEcr izkFkZuk&i=ksa dks Hkh mijksDrkuqlkj fuLrkfjr fd;k tkrk gSA (ASHUTOSH KUMAR),J KESHAV VERMA /98
