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 [2026:RJ-JP:5606] (3 of 7) [CMA-2982/2025] 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 12-06-2018 dh crkbZ x;h gSA Dyse ;kfpdk esa oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ }kjk Lo;a dks gksfMZax yxkus dk dk;Z dj 10]000@& :Ik;s ekfld vk; vftZr djuk crk;k x;k gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks vk; dh {kfr ds en esa xq.kd ds vk/kkj ij dksbZ jkf'k ugha fnyok;h tkdj ek= LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk ds en esa ,deq'r 75]000@& :i;s dh jkf'k fnyok;h x;h gSA vihykFkhZ }kjk Lo;a dks oDr ?kVuk gksfMZax yxkus dk dk;Z djuk crk;k x;k gSSA ,slh fLFkfr esa ge vihykFkhZ ds dk;Z dh izÑfr dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, mls vdq'ky Jfed ekurs gq, ?kVuk dh frfFk 12-06-2018 dks izpfyr U;wure etnwjh ds vk/kkj ij vihykFkhZ dh vk; fu/kkZfjr fd;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA oDr ?kVuk vdq'ky Jfed dh nSfud vk; 213@& #i;s] rn~uqlkj ekfld vk; 6]390@& :i;s gksrh gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk [2026:RJ-JP:5606] (4 of 7) [CMA-2982/2025] vihykFkhZ dh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; esa Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh dksbZ c<+ksrjh ugha dh x;h gSA Dyse ;kfpdk ls oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dh vk;q 45 o"kZ gksuk tkfgj gSA viuh vk;q ds laca/k esa vihykFkhZ dh vksj ls i=koyh ij LOk;a ds vk/kkj dkMZ dh QksVks izfr is'k dh xbZ gS] ftlesa vihykFkhZ dh tUefrfFk 01-01-1975 vafdr gS] ftlds vk/kkj ij vihykFkhZ dh vk;q oDr ?kVuk yxHkx 43 o"kZ gksuk izdV gksrh gSA vr% ;g U;k;ky; i=koyh ij miyC/k lk{;ksa ds vk/kkj vihykFkhZ dh vk;q 41 ls 45 o"kZ ds vk;q oxZ ds e/; fu/kkZfjr fd;k tkuk mfpr le>rh gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa us'kuy bZa';ksjsal dEiuh fyfeVsM cuke iz.k; lsBh o vU;% ¼2017½ 16 ,l- lh-lh- 680 esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj vihykFkhZ dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, mijksDr fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; 6]390@& #i;s ij 25 izfr'kr dh Hkfo";&o`f) fd;k tkuk visf{kr gSA 6]390@& #i;s dk 25 izfr'kr 1]598@& #i;s gksrk gSA mDr 25 izfr'kr jkf'k dks vihykFkhZ dh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; esa tksM+s tkus ds mijkar vihykFkhZ dh dqy ekfld vk; 7]988@& #i;s gksrh gS] tks {kfriwfrZ ds fu/kkZj.k dk vk/kkj jgsxhA 8- gLrxr nq?kZVuk esa vihykFkhZ ds cka;s gkFk dh jsfM;l o nkfgus iSj ds V[kus esa vfLFkHkax gksuk rFkk 'kjhj ds vU; Hkkxksa ij pksVsa vkuk tkfgj gSA ftuds lkewfgd izHkko ls vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj esa dqy 25-38 izfr’kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk vkuk ik;k x;k gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dh vksj ls izLrqr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= izn'kZ&17 dks tkjh djus okys fpfdRld dks lk{; esa ijhf{kr ugha djok;s tkus ds dkj.k mDr LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= dks fo'oluh; ugha ekuk 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.
