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 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 12-06-2019 dh crkbZ x;h gS rFkk oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks 22 o"kZ dh vk;q dk gksuk crkrs gq, nqX/k mRiknu o Ms;jh dk dk;Z dj 20]000@& #i;s izfrekg dh vk; vftZr djuk vo'; crk;k x;k gSA fdarq vihykFkhZ }kjk viuh vk; dk dksbZ Bksl izek.k fo}ku vf/kdj.k ds le{k izLrqr ugha fd;k gSA bu ifjfLFkfr;ksa esa fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ ds dk;Z dh izd`fr dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, rRle; izpfyr U;wure etnwjh nj ds vk/kkj ij [2026:RJ-JP:2704] (4 of 8) [CMA-3865/2024] mls vdq'ky Jfed gksuk ekurs gq, vihykFkhZ dh ekfld vk; dh x.kuk 225@& #i;s izfrfnu dh nj ls 26 fnol dh etnwjh ds vk/kkj ij djrs gq, 225 x 26 = 5]850@& #i;s izfrekg fu/kkZfjr dh x;h gS] tcfd vihykFkhZ dh vk; dh x.kuk 30 fnol ds vk/kkj ij fd;k tkuk visf{kr gSA rnuqlkj vihykFkhZ dh vk; 225 x 30 = 6]750@& #i;s izfrekg fu/kkZfjr dh tkrh gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; ij Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh en esa dksbZ c<+ksrjh ugha dh xbZ gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ ds vk/kkjdkMZ esa vafdr tUefrfFk ds vk/kkj ij oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks 21 o"kZ dh vk;q dk Lofu;ksftr O;olk;h gksuk crk;k x;k 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 vihykFkhZ dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, mldh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; 6]750@& #i;s esa 40 izfr'kr dh c<+ksrjh fd;k tkuk visf{kr gSA 6]750@& #i;s dk 40 izfr'kr 2]700@& #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; 9]450@& #i;s gksrh gS tks {kfriwfrZ fu/kkZj.k dk vk/kkj jgsxhA 8- gLrxr nq?kZVuk esa vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj ds fofHkUu Hkkxksa esa iSj esa xaHkhj pksVsa dkfjr gqbZ gSaA vihykFkhZ ds dkfjr pksVksa ds lkewfgd izHkko ls vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj esa dqy 50-80 izfr’kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk vkuk ik;k x;k gS] tSlk fd LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk izek.k&i= izn'kZ&186 ds voyksdu ls Li"V gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks dkfjr 50-80 izfr’kr LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk dks fpfdRldh; lk{; }kjk lkfcr ugha fd, tkus ds dkj.k ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; }kjk ikfjr U;kf;d n`"VkUr jkt dqekj cuke vt; dqekj o vU;% 2011 ,lhts 1 ¼,llh½ ds vk/kkj ij lEiw.kZ 'kjhj ds ifjizs{; esa LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk 26 izfr'kr vkadh xbZ gSA [2026:RJ-JP:2704] (5 of 8) [CMA-3865/2024] 9- 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.” 10- tgka rd vihykFkhZ dh vksj ls izLrqr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= dks tkjh djus okys fpfdRld dks lk{; esa ijhf{kr ugha djok;s tkus dk iz'u gS rks 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.
