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." 9- gLrxr ekeys dh ?kVuk o"kZ 2019 dh crkbZ x;h gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk dalksfVZ;e dh en esa vihykFkhZ la[;k 1 yxk;r 4 izR;sd dks 40]000@& :i;s] dqy 1]60]000@& :i;s dh jkf'k fnyokbZ xbZ gS] tks ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; ds U;kf;d n`"Vkar glhuk ;kLehu ¼mijksDr½] iz.k; lsBh ¼mijksDr½] ;wukbZVsM bf.M;k ba';ksjsal dEiuh fyfeVsM cuke lfrUnj dkSj mQZ lrfoUnj dkSj o vU; fjiksVsZM bu ¼2021½ 11 ,llhlh 780 rFkk 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 mfpr izrhr gksrh gS] ftlesa c<+ksrjh fd;s tkus dh dksbZ xqatkbZ'k ugha gSA vr% fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZx.k dks dalksfVZ;e dh en esa tks jkf'k fnyokbZ x;h gS] mlesa ge dksbZ gLr{ksi fd;k tkuk mfpr ugha le>rs gSaA [2026:RJ-JP:5461] (5 of 5) [CMA-109/2021] 10- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZx.k dks vafre laLdkj dh en esa 15]000@& #i;s rFkk lEink dh gkfu ds en esa 15]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k fnyokbZ xbZ gS] tks iz.k; lsBh ¼mijksDr½ ds ekeys esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj mfpr izrhr gksrh gS] ftlesa Hkh dksbZ gLr{ksi fd;k tkuk ge mfpr ugha le>rs gSA 11- bl izdkj fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZx.k dks dqy 35]00]100@& :Ik;s dh {kfriwfrZ jkf'k ;kfpdk nk;j djus dh frfFk ls e; C;kt 09 izfr'kr lkykuk dh nj ls fnyokbZ xbZ gS] ftlesa ge dksbZ gLr{ksi fd;k tkuk mfpr ugha le>rs gSA 12- vr% mijksDr foospu vuqlkj vihykFkhZx.k js[kk rksej o vU; dh vksj ls {kfriwfrZ jkf'k esa c<+ksrjh fd, tkus gsrq izLrqr dh xbZ flfoy fofo/k vihy la[;k 19@2021] vLohdkj dj [kkfjt dh tkrh gS rFkk fo}ku vf/kdj.k ds fu.kZ; dh iqf"V dh tkrh gSA 13- rnuqlkj ;g vihy fujLr dh tkrh gSA 14- lHkh yfEcr izkFkZuk&i=ksa dks Hkh mijksDrkuqlkj fujLr fd;k tkrk gSA (ASHUTOSH KUMAR),J Badal /93
