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. [2026:RJ-JP:5300] (4 of 8) [CMA-834/2018] 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 21-04-2002 dh gksuk crkbZ x;h gS rFkk oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ is'ks ls odhy Fkk tks ?kVuk ds le; odkyr dk dk;Z dj 5]000@& #i;s izfrekg vk; vftZr djrk FkkA fdUrq vihykFkhZ }kjk Lo;a dh vk; ds laca/k esa dksbZ Bksl lk{; fo}ku vf/kdj.k ds le{k izLrqr ugha dh x;h gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ ds dk;Z dh izÑfr dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dh ekfld vk; 4]000@& #i;s fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ gS tks mfpr izrhr gksrh gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k ds mDr fu"d"kZ esa ge dksbZ gLr{ksi fd;k tkuk mfpr ugha le>rs gSa rFkk vihykFkhZ dh ;gh vk; ge fu/kkZfjr fd;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dh 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 30 o"kZ vk;q dk gksuk crk;k x;k gS rFkk fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ ds isu dkMZ izn'kZ&247 esa vafdr tUefrfFk 19-01-1969 ds vuqlkj oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dh vk;q 33 o"kZ fu/kkZfjr dh x;h gSA pwafd oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ 33 o"kZ 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 [2026:RJ-JP:5300] (5 of 8) [CMA-834/2018] dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, vihykFkhZ dh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; ij Hkfo"; dh izR;k'kk dh en esa 40 izfr'kr dh Hkfo"; o`f) fd;k tkuk visf{kr gSA rn~uqlkj vihykFkhZ dh fu/kkZfjr vk; 4]000@& #i;s dk 40 izfr'kr 1]600@& #i;s gksrk gSA mDr 40 izfr'kr jkf'k dks vihykFkhZ dh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; esa tksM+s tkus ds mijkar vihykFkhZ dh dqy ekfld vk; 5]600@& #i;s gksrh gS] tks {kfriwfrZ ds fu/kkZj.k dk vk/kkj jgsxhA 9- gLrxr nq?kZVuk esa vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj ds fofHkUu Hkkxksa esa lk/kkj.k o xaHkhj pksVsa dkfjr gqbZ rFkk vihykFkhZ ds iSj o tcMs+ esa vfLFk Hkax dh xaHkhj pksVsa dkfjr gqbZ] ftuds lkewfgd izHkko ls vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj ij dqy 24 izfr'kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk vkuk ik;k x;k gS] tSlk fd LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= izn'kZ&163 ds voyksdu ls Li"V gSA fdUrq fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks dkfjr 24 izfr'kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk dks lEiw.kZ 'kjhj ds ifjizs{; esa 15 izfr'kr 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.

The Tribunal questioned the competence of the Medical Board to assess the permanent 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 dispute."
