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 [2026:RJ-JP:5874] (4 of 12) [CMA-3427/2014] 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 12-06-2010 dh crkbZ x;h gS rFkk oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks nw/k lIykbZ dk dk;Z dj rFkk [kYyklh dk dk;Z dj izfrekg 6]000@& #i;s dh vk; vftZr djuk vo'; crk;k x;k gSA fdUrq vihykFkhZ }kjk viuh vk; ds laca/k esa dksbZ Bksl izek.k fo}ku vf/kdj.k ds le{k izLrqr ugha fd;k gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dh dksbZ vk; fu/kkZfjr ugha dj] ekeys dh nq?kZVuk esa vihykFkhZ dks dkfjr gqbZ pksVksa ds QyLo:i 'kkjhfjd o ekufld ihM+k] ikSf"Vd vkgkj] ;krk;kr o ifjogu rFkk bykt vkfn ij O;; jkf'k ds enksa esa ,deq'r 1]11]670@& #i;s dh jkf'k crkSj {kfriwfrZ fnyokbZ x;h gSA ;gka ;g lqLFkkfir fof/k gS fd ftu ekeyksa esa vkgr@e`rd dh vk; izekf.kr ugha gks] ogka vkgr@e`rd dks nSfud osru Hkksxh etnwj dh Js.kh esa j[kk tkdj rRle; izpfyr U;wure etnwjh ds vk/kkj ij mldh vk; fu/kkZfjr dh tk,xhA oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks [kYyklh dk dk;Z djuk crk;k x;k gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa vihykFkhZ ds dk;Z dh izÑfr dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks vdq'ky Jfed dh Js.kh esa j[kk tkuk mfpr izdV gksrk gSA ekeys dh ?kVuk fnukad 12-06-2010 dh crkbZ x;h gSA jkT; ljdkj }kjk o"kZ 2008 ds i'pkr~ o"kZ 2011 esa U;wure etnwjh dh njksa esa o`f) dh x;h gSA o"kZ 2010 esa U;wure etnwjh dh dksbZ nj jktLFkku jkT; esa fu/kkZfjr ugha dh x;h gSA o"kZ 2008 esa vdq'ky Js.kh ds etnwj Jfed dh nSfud vk; 100@& #i;s rFkk o"kZ 2011 esa 135 #i;s izfrfnu jgh gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa ge] oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dh nSfud vk; 110@& #i;s] rn~uqlkj ekfld vk; 110 x 30 = 3]300@& #i;s fu/kkZfjr fd;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA Dyse ;kfpdk esa oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks 20 o"kZ vk;q dk gksuk crk;k x;k gSA pwafd oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ 20 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 ds ekeys esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj [2026:RJ-JP:5874] (5 of 12) [CMA-3427/2014] vihykFkhZ dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, mldh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; 3]300@& #i;s esa 40 izfr'kr dh c<+ksrjh fd;k tkuk visf{kr gSA rn~uqlkj 3]300@& #i;s dk 40 izfr'kr 1]320@& #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; 4]620@& #i;s gksrh gS] tks {kfriwfrZ ds fu/kkZj.k dk vk/kkj jgsxhA 8- gLrxr ekeys dh nq?kZVuk esa vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj ds fofHkUu Hkkxksa esa lk/kkj.k o xaHkhj pksVsa dkfjr gqbZ rFkk vihykFkhZ ds nksuksa iSjksa esa rFkk nk;sa gkFk esa vfLFk Hkax dh xaHkhj pksVsa dkfjr gqbZ] ftuds lkewfgd izHkko ls vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj ij dqy 24-32 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&89 ds voyksdu ls Li"V gSA fdUrq fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk fpfdRldh; lk{; ds vHkko esa vihykFkhZ ds LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= ij fo'okl ugha fd;k x;k 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.

High Court was of the view that since there was no permit, the question of [2026:RJ-JP:5874] (9 of 12) [CMA-3427/2014] violation of any condition thereof does not arise. The view is clearly fallacious. A person without permit to ply a vehicle cannot be placed at a better pedestal vis-a-vis one who has a permit, but has violated any condition thereof. Plying of a vehicle without a permit is an infraction. Therefore, in terms of Section 149(2) defence is available to the insurer on that aspect. The acceptability of the stand is a matter of adjudication. The question of policy being operative had no relevance for the issue regarding liability of insurer. High Court was, therefore, not justified in holding the insurer liable." 13. The residual question is what would be the appropriate direction. Considering the beneficial object of the Act, it would be proper for the insurer to satisfy the award, though in law it has no liability. In some cases the insurer has been given the option and liberty to recover the amount from the insured. For the purpose of recovering the amount paid from the owner, the insurer shall not be required to file a suit. It may initiate a proceeding before the concerned Executive Court as if the dispute between the insurer and the owner was the subject matter of determination before the Tribunal and the issue is decided against the owner and in favour of the insurer. Before release of the amount to the claimants, owner of the offending vehicle shall furnish security for the entire amount which the insurer will pay to the claimants. The offending vehicle shall be attached, as a part of the security. If necessity arises the Executive Court shall take assistance of the concerned Regional Transport Authority. The Executing Court shall pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as to the manner in which the owner of the vehicle shall make payment to the insurer. In case there is any default it shall be open to the Executing Court to direct realization by disposal of the securities to be furnished or from any other property or properties of the owner of the vehicle i.e. the insured. In the instant case considering the quantum involved we leave it to the discretion of the insurer to decide whether it would take steps for recovery of the amount from the insure."

In the case at hand, it is clearly demonstrable from the materials brought on record that the vehicle at the time of the accident did not have a permit. The Appellants had taken the stand that the vehicle was not involved in the accident. That apart, they had not stated whether the vehicle had temporary permit or any other kind of permit. The exceptions that have been carved out Under Section 66 of the Act, needless to emphasise, are to be pleaded and proved. The exceptions cannot be taken aid of in the course of an argument to seek absolution from liability. Use of a vehicle in a public place without a permit is a fundamental statutory infraction. We are disposed to think so in view of the series of exceptions carved out in Section 66. The said situations cannot be equated with absence of licence or a fake licence or a licence for different kind of vehicle, or, for that matter, violation of a condition of carrying more number of passengers. Therefore, the principles laid down in Swaran Singh (supra) and Lakhmi Chand (supra) in that regard would not be applicable to the case at hand. That apart, the insurer had taken the plea that the vehicle in question had no permit. It does not require the wisdom of the "Tripitaka", that the existence of a permit of any nature is a matter of documentary evidence. Nothing has been brought on record by the insured to prove that he had a permit of the vehicle. In such a situation, the onus cannot be cast on the insurer. Therefore, the tribunal as well as the High Court had directed the insurer was required to pay the compensation amount to the claimants with interest with the stipulation that the insurer shall be entitled to recover the same from the owner and the driver. The said directions are in consonance with the principles stated in Swaran Singh (supra) and Ors. cases pertaining to pay and recover principle."
