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 [2025:RJ-JP:50706] (3 of 8) [CMA-5672/2019] 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.” 7- i=koyh ds voyksdu ls izdV gksrk gS fd ekeys dh ?kVuk fnukad 22-06-2012 dh crkbZ x;h gS rFkk oDr ?kVuk vihykfFkZ;k dks 36 o"kZ dh vk;q dk gksuk crkrs gq, Hkou fuekZ.k dk dk;Z dj 10]000@& :Ik;s ekfld vk; vftZr djuk crk;k x;k gSA fdUrq fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykfFkZ;k dks vk; dh {kfr ds en esa xq.kd ds vk/kkj ij {kfriwfrZ jkf’k ugha fnyokbZ tkdj 'kkjhfjd o ekufld mRihMu] Hkfo"; esa bykt gsrq vk; dh gkfu] ikSf"Vd vkgkj ,oa vLirky vkokxeu bR;kfn ds isVs ,deq’r 1]50]000@& :i;s dh jkf’k fnyokbZ xbZ gS] tks =qfViw.kZ gSA ;gka ;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; izpfyr U;wure etnwjh dh nj ls mldh vk; fu/kkZfjr dh tk,xhA ,slh fLFkfr esa ;g U;k;ky; vihykfFkZ;k ds dk;Z dh izd`fr dks n`f"Vxr j[krs [2025:RJ-JP:50706] (4 of 8) [CMA-5672/2019] gq, mls vdq'ky Jfed gksuk ekurs gq, ?kVuk dh frfFk fnukad 22-06-2012 dks izpfyr U;wure etnwjh ds vk/kkj ij mldh vk; fu/kkZfjr fd;k tkuk mfpr le>rh gSA oDr ?kVuk vdq'ky Jfed dh nSfud vk; 147@& #i;s] rn~uqlkj ekfld vk; 4]410@& #i;s gksrh gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykfFkZ;k dh mDr fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; ij Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh c<+ksrjh ds en esa dksbZ c<+ksrjh ugha dh x;h gSA oDr ?kVuk vihykfFkZ;k dks 36 o"khZ; Lofu;ksftr O;olk;h gksuk crk;k x;k gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa us'kuy ba';ksjsal dEiuh fyfeVsM cuke iz.k; lsBh o vU;% ¼2017½ 16 ,l-lh-lh- 680 esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj vihykfFkZ;k dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, mldh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; 4]410@& #i;s esa 40 izfr'kr vFkkZr 1]764@& #i;s dh c<+ksrjh fd;k tkuk visf{kr gSA mDr 40 izfr'kr jkf'k dks fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; esa tksM+s tkus ds mijkar vihykfFkZ;k dh dqy 'kq) ekfld vk; 6]174@& #i;s gksrh gS] tks {kfriwfrZ fu/kkZj.k dk vk/kkj jgsxhA 8- gLrxr nq?kZVuk esa vihykfFkZ;k ds nkfgus gkFk dh vyuk o g~;wejl gM~Mh esa vfLFkHkax vkuk tkfgj gSA ftuds lkewfgd izHkko ls vihykfFkZ;k ds 'kjhj esa dqy 35 izfr’kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk vkuk ik;k x;k gS] tSlk fd LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk izek.k&i= izn'kZ&16 ds voyksdu ls Li"V gSA LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= ds laca/k esa fo}ku vf/koDRkk izR;FkhZ chek dEiuh dk rdZ jgk gS fd vihykFkhZ }kjk fo}ku vf/kdj.k ds le{k LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= tkjh djus okys fpfdRld dks lk{; esa ijhf{kr ugha djok;k x;k gSA vr% vihykFkhZ dh vksj ls izLrqr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= ekus tkus ;ksX; ugha gSA 9- bl laca/k esa bl U;k;ky; ds U;kf;d n`"Vkar Ms. Aarti vs. Kailash Singh & Ors. reported in 2015 (2) R.A.R. 675 (Raj.) esa fuEufyf[kr er O;Dr fd;k gS fd %& "12.
