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 24-12-2014 dh crkbZ x;h gS rFkk oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks 24 o"kZ dh vk;q dk gksuk crkrs gq, , Vw tsM daiuh] lfpoky; Hkou] t;iqj esa lQkbZdehZ dk dk;Z dj 5]400@& :Ik;s ekfld vk; vftZr djuk crk;k x;k gSA fdUrq fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks vk; dh {kfr ds en esa xq.kd ds vk/kkj ij {kfriwfrZ jkf’k ugha fnyokbZ tkdj 'kkjhfjd o ekufld ihM+k] Hkfo"; esa vk; dh gkfu] ikSf"Vd vkgkj ,oa vLirky vkokxeu bR;kfn ds [2026:RJ-JP:2136] (4 of 9) [CMA-5240/2019] isVs ,deq’r 1]25]000@& :i;s dh jkf’k fnyokbZ xbZ gSA vihykFkhZ dh vksj ls viuh vk; ds laca/k esa fo}ku vf/kdj.k ds le{k ekg ekpZ] 2014 dk osru izek.k i= izn'kZ&179 izLrqr fd;k x;k gS] ftlds vuqlkj vihykFkhZ dk osru 5]419@& :i;s gksuk tkfgj gSA bl laca/k esa vihykFkhZ dh vksj ls fo}ku vf/kdj.k ds le{k ys[kc) djk;s x;s c;kuksa esa tkfgj fd;k x;k gS fd ^^eSa vc bl daiuh esa dke ugha djrk gwaA eSaus daiuh }kjk esjs dks dke ls fudkyus ds laca/k esa dksbZ nLrkost is'k ugha fd;k gSA** vr % vihykFkhZ dh vksj ls ys[kc) djk;s x;s c;kuksa ls tkfgj gS fd vihykFkhZ dks , Vw tsM daiuh }kjk ukSdjh ls fudky fn;k x;k gS rFkk vihykFkhZ orZeku esa mDr daiuh esa dke ugha djrk gSA vr% vihykFkhZ dh vksj ls vk; ds laca/k esa tks osru izek.k i= izn'kZ&179 izLrqr fd;k x;k gS] og fo'oluh; ugha gSA tgka rd vihykFkhZ dh vk; dk iz'u gS] rks bl laca/k esa ;g lqLFkkfir fof/k gS fd ftu ekeyksa esa vkgr dh vk; izekf.kr ugha gks] ogka mls nSfud osru Hkksxh etnwj dh Js.kh esa j[kk tkdj rRle; izpfyr U;wure etnwjh dh nj ls mldh vk; fu/kkZfjr dh tk,xhA ,slh fLFkfr esa ;g U;k;ky; vihykFkhZ ds dk;Z dh izd`fr dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, mls vdq'ky Jfed gksuk ekurs gq, ?kVuk dh frfFk dks izpfyr U;wure etnwjh ds vk/kkj ij mldh vk; fu/kkZfjr fd;k tkuk mfpr le>rh gSA oDr ?kVuk vdq'ky Jfed dh nSfud vk; 189@& #i;s] rn~uqlkj ekfld vk; 5]670@& #i;s gksrh gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dh mDr fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; ij Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh c<+ksrjh ds en esa dksbZ c<+ksrjh ugha dh x;h gSA oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks 24 o"khZ; 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;% 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; 5]670@& #i;s esa 40 izfr'kr vFkkZr 2]268@& #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 tkus ds mijkar vihykFkhZ dh dqy 'kq) [2026:RJ-JP:2136] (5 of 9) [CMA-5240/2019] ekfld vk; 7]938@& #i;s gksrh gS] tks {kfriwfrZ fu/kkZj.k dk vk/kkj jgsxhA 8- gLrxr nq?kZVuk esa vihykFkhZ ds nkfgus iSj dh Qhej gM~Mh] Vhfc;k&Qscwyk o cka;s iSj dh Vhfc;k o Qscwyk gM~Mh esa vfLFkHkax gksuk rFkk vihykFkhZ dk nka;k iSj Ms< bap NksVk gksuk tkfgj gSA ftuds lkewfgd izHkko ls vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj esa dqy 39-42 izfr’kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk vkuk ik;k x;k gS] tSlk fd LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk izek.k&i= izn'kZ&20 ds voyksdu ls Li"V gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk 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 rFkk LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= ?kVuk ds yxHkx 3 o"kZ ckn cuok;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.
