It is well settled that Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 is a beneficial piece of legislation and as such, while dealing with compensation cases, once the actual occurrence of the accident has been established, the Tribunal’s role would be to award just and fair compensation. As held by this Court in Sunita (Supra) and Kusum Lata (Supra), strict rules of evidence as applicable in a criminal trial, are not applicable in motor accident compensation cases, i.e., to say, “the standard of proof to be borne in mind must be of preponderance of probability and not the strict standard of proof beyond all reasonable doubt which is followed in criminal cases”. [2026:RJ-JP:5128] (6 of 14) [CMA-3454/2023] 20. In view of the above, we do not agree with the view taken by the High Court while rejecting the salary certificate (Exhibit 19) and pay slip (Exhibit 20) of the deceased merely on the ground that the person issuing the two aforementioned documents was not examined before the Learned Tribunal. The said documents are conclusive proof of the income of the deceased and were also corroborated by the statements of the deceased’s wife (Appellant No. 1 herein) and his co-workers. As such, the High Court was not justified in assessing the income of the deceased at Rs.4,836/- per month on the basis of minimum wages fixed by the State at the relevant time. Resultantly, we affirm the findings of the Learned Tribunal so far as they relate to assessing the deceased’s income at Rs.11,225/- per month on the basis of aforementioned two documents. Annual income of the deceased, therefore, amounts to, Rs.11,225/- x 12 = Rs.1,34,700/-." 11- ,slh fLFkfr esa ;g U;k;ky;] jktorh mQZ jTtks ¼mijksDr½ ds ekeys esa ikfjr er ls lger gksrs gq, bl ekeys esa oDr ?kVuk e`rd dh vk; mlds osru izek.k i= izn'kZ&14 ds vk/kkj ij fu/kkZfjr fd;k tkuk mfpr le>rh gSA e`rd ds osru izek.k i= izn'kZ&14 eas e`rd dh vk; 12]000@& #i;s ekfld n'kkZ;h x;h gSA bu ifjfLFkfr;ksa esa ;g U;k;ky; osru izek.k i= izn'kZ&14 ij fo'okl djrs gq, oDr ?kVuk e`rd dh vk; 12]000@& #i;s ekfld fu/kkZfjr fd;k tkuk mfpr le>rh gSA 12- Dyse ;kfpdk esa oDr ?kVuk e`rd dks 21 o"kZ vk;q dk gksuk crk;k x;k gS rFkk fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk e`rd ds dh ek/;fed f'k{kk dh vadrkfydk izn'kZ&15 esa vafdr tUefrfFk 15-08-1990 ds vuqlkj e`rd dh vk;q 21 o"kZ] 02 ekg gksus ds rF; dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, oDr ?kVuk e`rd dh vk;q 21 ls 25 o"kZ ds e/; fu/kkZfjr dh x;h gSA tgka rd e`rd dh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; esa Hkfo"; o`f) fd;s tkus dk iz'u gS rks bl laca/k esa ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; }kjk U;kf;d n`"Vkar us'kuy ba';ksjsal dEiuh fyfeVsM cuke iz.k; lsBh o vU; fjiksVsZM bu ¼2017½ 16 ,l-lh-lh- 680 ds ekeys esa fuEufyf[kr er O;Dr fd;k gS fd %& [2026:RJ-JP:5128] (7 of 14) [CMA-3454/2023] "61(iv).

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 [2026:RJ-JP:5128] (9 of 14) [CMA-3454/2023] 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." 19- ,slh fLFkfr ;g U;k;ky;] ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; ds U;kf;d n`"Vkar 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 ?kVuk dh frfFk dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq,] e`rd dh ekrk vihykfFkZ;k la[;k&1 dks ^^fQfy;y dalksfVZ;e** dh en esa 40]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA 20- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykfFkZ;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 x;h gS tks iz.k; lsBh ¼mijksDr½ ds ekeys esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj mfpr izrhr gksrh gS] mDr enksa eas fnyokbZ x;h jkf'k esa ge dksbZ gLr{ksi fd;k tkuk mfpr ugha le>rs gSaA 21- mDrkuqlkj vihykfFkZ;k Hkaoj daoj fuEu izdkj ls {kfriwfrZ jkf'k izkIr djus dh vf/kdkjh gS %& 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 18]14]400@& 2- dalksfVZ;e ds en esa 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 18]84]400@& fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk fnyokbZ xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k ¼&½ 6]34]800@& c<+ksrjh i'pkr {kfriwfrZ jkf'k esa varj 12]49]600@& [2026:RJ-JP:5128] (10 of 14) [CMA-3454/2023] flfoy fofo/k vihy la[;k&3456@2023 %& 22- ekeys dh nq?kZVuk esa vihykFkhZ lqjsUnz flag ds 'kjhj ij dkfjr gqbZ lk/kkj.k o xaHkhj pksVksa ds QyLo:i vihykFkhZ lqjsUnz flag ds 'kjhj ij dqy 41-16 izfr'kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk crk;k x;k gSA eksVj nq?kZVuk esa vkgr O;fDr;ksa dks {kfriwfrZ fnyok;s tkus ds lanHkZ esa ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; }kjk vius U;kf;d n`"Vkar Anant Son of Sidheswar Dukre Vs.

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.” [2026:RJ-JP:5128] (11 of 14) [CMA-3454/2023] 23- i=koyh ds voyksdu ls izdV gksrk gS fd ekeys dh ?kVuk fnukad 27-10-2011 dh crkbZ x;h gS rFkk oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ lqjsUnz flag dks ds- bZ-lh- baVjus'kuy fyfeVsM dEiuh >ksVokM+k] t;iqj esa yksgs dh ls;fjax dfVax e'khu vkWijsVj dk dk;Z dj izfrekg 9]000@& #i;s osru izkIr djuk vo';
