For the purpose of emphasis, it is again clarified here that when a Tribunal or the High Court in appeal, is concerned with the case involving a child having suffered injury or having passed away, the calculation of loss of income necessarily has to be made on the matric of minimum wages payable to a skilled worker in the respective State at the relevant point of time. It is our hope that this restatement helps avoiding such errors and thereby obviates the necessity of this Court's interference, applying well-established principles of law." 7- ,slh fLFkfr esa ge] Hitesh Nagjibhai Patel (supra) ds ekeys esa ikfjr er ls lger gksrs gq, bl ekeys esa Hkh e`r ckyd dks oDr ?kVuk dq'ky Jfed gksuk ekurs gq, ?kVuk dh frfFk 14-09-2018 dks izpfyr U;wure etnwjh nj ds vk/kkj ij mldh nSfud vk; 233@& #i;s] rn~uqlkj ekfld vk; 233 x 30 = 6]990@& #i;s fu/kkZfjr fd;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA vf/kdj.k }kjk e`rd dh vk; ij Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh en esa dksbZ Hkfo";&o`f) ugha dh x;h gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk oDr ?kVuk e`r ckyd dh vk;q 12 o"kZ 4 ekg 23 fnol fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ 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 e`rd dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, mldh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; 6]990@& #i;s esa 40 izfr'kr vFkkZr 2]796@& #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 [2026:RJ-JP:2246] (4 of 7) [CMA-2347/2024] tkus ds mijkar e`rd dh dqy 'kq) ekfld vk; 9]786@& #i;s gksrh gS] tks {kfriwfrZ fu/kkZj.k dk vk/kkj jgsxhA 8- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk e`rd ds O;fDrxr [kpZ dh dVkSrh dh en esa dksbZ dVkSrh ugha dh xbZ gSA oDr ?kVuk e`rd dks vfookfgr gksuk crk;k x;k gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa vfookfgr e`rd ds O;fDrxr [kpZ dh dVkSrh ds en eas 1@2 Hkkx dh dVkSrh fd;k tkuk visf{kr gSA rn~uqlkj 9]786@&#i;s dk 1@2 Hkkx 4]893@&#i;s gksrk gS] ftls fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; esa ls ?kVkus ds mijkar vkfJr vk; dh 'ks"k jkf'k 4]893@&#i;s gksrh gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk e`rd ckyd vk;Zu dh ekrk rkjk nsoh dh oDr nq?kZVuk 40 o"kZ dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, 15 ds xq.kd dk iz;ksx fd;k x;k gSA ftu ekeyksa esa e`rd dh vk;q 15 o"kZ ls de gks] mu ekeyksa esa 15 ds xq.kd dk iz;ksx fd;s tkus dh lqLFkkfir fof/k fo|eku gSA pwafd fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk e`rd dh vk;q 12 o"kZ 4 ekg 23 fnol fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa e`rd dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, 15 dk xq.kd yxk;k tkuk visf{kr gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa ljyk oekZ o vU; cuke nsgyh VªklaiksVZ dkWiksZjs'ku o vU; fjiksVsZM bu ¼2009½ 6 ,l-lh-lh- 121 rFkk iz.k; lsBh ¼mijksDr½ ds ekeys esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vk/kkj ij e`rd dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, 15 dk xq.kd yxk;k tkuk visf{kr gSA rn~uqlkj e`rd dh fu/kkZfjr vk; 4]893@& #i;s ds vk/kkj ij vihykFkhZx.k dks gksus okyh vkfJr vk; dh dqy {kfr 4]893 x 12 x 15 = 8]80]740@&#i;s gksrh gS tks vihykFkhZx.k izkIr djus ds vf/kdkjh gSaA 9- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk dalksfVZ;e dh en esa vihykFkhZ la[;k&1 dks 40]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k fnyokbZ xbZ gSA ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; ds U;kf;d n`"Vkar iz.k; lsBh ¼mijksDr½ o ;wukbZVsM bf.M;k ba';ksjsal dEiuh fyfeVsM cuke lfrUnj dkSj mQZ lrfoUnj dkSj o vU; fjiksVsZM bu ¼2021½ 11 ,llhlh 780 o vU; U;kf;d n`"Vkar esxek tujy ba';ksjsal dEiuh fyfeVsM cuke ukuw jke mQZ pqg: jke o vU; fjiksVsZM bu ¼2018½ 18 ,llhlh 130 ds ekeyksa esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj izR;sd vkfJr [2026:RJ-JP:2246] (5 of 7) [CMA-2347/2024] dks 40]000@& #i;s dalksfVZ;e dh en esa fnyok;s tkus dk fl)kUr izfrikfnr fd;k x;k gSA 10- tgka rd dalksfVZ;e dh en esa] vafre laLdkj rFkk lEink dh gkfu ds en esa fnyokbZ x;h jkf'k esa c<+ksrjh fd;s tkus dk iz'u gS rks bl laca/k esa ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; }kjk U;kf;d n`"Vkar glhuk ;kLehu o vU; cuke us'kuy ba';ksjsal dEiuh fyfeVsM o vU; fjiksVsZM bu 2025 ,l-lh-lh- vkWuykbZu ,l-lh- 2919 esa fuEufyf[kr er O;Dr fd;k x;k gS fd %& "7. According to us, the Constitution Bench decision only provided for an enhancement of 10% in every three-year period with respect to accidents which occurred after 2017, the first enhancement being applied in 2020. Otherwise, as is indicated in the cited decision; which we find, with due respect, difficult to accept, the accident in 2010 is applied with a 10% increase when it is disposed of in 2020 and a further 10% increase if the matter is finally disposed of in 2023. This with due respect is not the purport of the decision in Pranay Sethi1, as we understand it. There cannot be any enhancement made with respect to an accident which occurred in the year 1998, since the compensation for loss of estate and consortium as also expenses incurred for funeral is as on that date, which has been standardized by Pranay Sethi at 15,000/-, 40,000/- & 15,000/-, the delay in payment of which is compensated by the interest directed to be paid." 11- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ la[;k&1 tks fd e`rd dh ekrk gSa] dks 40]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k dalksfVZ;e dh en esa fnyokbZ xbZ gS] tks glhuk ;kLehu ¼mijksDr½] iz.k; lsBh ¼mijksDr½] lfrUnj dkSj mQZ lrfoUnj dkSj ¼mijksDr½ o ukuw jke mQZ pqg: jke ¼mijksDr½ ds ekeyksa esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj mfpr izrhr gksrh gS] blesa ge dksbZ gLr{ksi fd;k tkuk mfpr ugha le>rs gSaA pwafd nkSjkus fopkj.k vihykFkhZ la[;k&2 [2026:RJ-JP:2246] (6 of 7) [CMA-2347/2024] ckcwyky dh e`R;q fnukad 08-08-2021 dks gks pqdh gS] ,slh fLFkfr esa vihykFkhZ la[;k&2 dks dalksfVZ;e dh en esa dksbZ jkf'k fnyok;k tkuk mfpr izrhr ugha gksrk gSA 12- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZx.k dks vafre laLdkj dh en esa 15]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k fnyokbZ x;h gS] tks glhuk ;kLehu ¼mijksDr½ o iz.k; lsBh ¼mijksDr½ ds ekeys esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj mfpr izrhr gksrh gS] blesa ge dksbZ gLr{ksi fd;k tkuk mfpr ugha le>rs gSaA 13- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZx.k dks lEink dh gkfu ds en esa 5]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k fnyokbZ x;h gSA vr% lEink dh gkfu ds en esa ge] glhuk ;kLehu ¼mijksDr½ o iz.k; lsBh ¼mijksDr½ ds ekeys esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj 15]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k vihykFkhZx.k dks fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA 14- mDrkuqlkj vihykFkhZx.k dh vksj ls lafLFkr dh xbZ mDr vihy dks vkaf'kd :i ls Lohdkj fd;k tkdj vihykFkhZx.k fuEu izdkj ls {kfriwfrZ jkf'k izkIr djus ds vf/kdkjh gSa %& Øe la- 'kh"kZ@en bl fu.kZ; ds rgr fu/kkZfjr dh x;h jkf’k ¼:i;s esa½ 1- vkfJr vk; dh {kfr ds en esa 8]80]740@& 2- dalksfVZ;e ds en esa ¼vihykFkhZ la[;k&1 dks 40]000@& :i;s½ dqy 40]000@& 3- vafre laLdkj ds en esa 15]000@& 4- lEink dh gkfu ds en esa 15]000@& bl U;k;ky; }kjk fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ dqy {kfriwfrZ jkf'k 9]50]740@& fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk fnyokbZ xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k ¼&½ 5]10]000@& c<+ksrjh i'pkr {kfriwfrZ jkf'k esa varj 4]40]740@& 15- rnuqlkj ;g vihy vkaf’kd :i ls Lohdkj dh tkdj fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk ikfjr iapkV] ftlds }kjk vihykFkhZx.k@DysesaV~l dks 5]10]000@& :i;s fnyok;s tkus dk vkns'k ikfjr fd;k x;k gS] ds LFkku ij 9]50]740@& :i;s dk iapkV ikfjr fd;k tkrk gSA mDr jkf'k ij fu;ekuqlkj vk;dj dVkSrh dh tk,xhA vihykFkhZx.k }kjk iwoZ esa izkIr dh [2026:RJ-JP:2246] (7 of 7) [CMA-2347/2024] x;h jkf’k dks iapkV jkf’k esa ls lek;ksftr fd;k tkdj 'ks"k jkf’k vihykFkhZ izkIr djus ds vf/kdkjh ik;s tkrs gSaA 16- bl vkns'k }kjk c<+kbZ xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k ij ;kfpdk nk;j djus dh frfFk ls vihykFkhZx.k 8 izfr'kr okf"kZd C;kt izkIr djus ds vf/kdkjh gSaA 17- rnuqlkj ;g vihy fuLrkfjr dh tkrh gSA 18- lHkh yfEcr izkFkZuk&i=ksa dks Hkh mijksDrkuqlkj fuLrkfjr fd;k tkrk gSA (ASHUTOSH KUMAR),J KESHAV VERMA /105-S
