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." 10- gLrxr ekeys dh ?kVuk fnukad 09-03-2021 dh gSA ,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 e`rd ds ekrk&firk o cgu vihykFkhZ la[;k&1 yxk;r [2026:RJ-JP:4337] (5 of 6) [CMA-4629/2024] 3 dks ^^fQyh;y dalksfVZ;e** dh en esa izR;sd dks 44]000@& #i;s ¼dqy 1]32]000@& #i;s½ dh jkf'k fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA 11- 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 x;h gSA vr% vafre laLdkj dh en esa rFkk lEink dh gkfu ds en esa ge] iz.k; lsBh ¼mijksDr½ ds ekeys esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj 16]500&16]500@& #i;s ¼dqy 33]000@& #i;s½ dh jkf'k vihykFkhZx.k dks fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA 12- mDrkuqlkj vihykFkhZx.k dh vksj ls lafLFkr dh xbZ mDr vihy dks vkaf'kd :i ls Lohdkj fd;k tkdj vihykFkhZx.k fuEu izdkj ls {kfriwfrZ jkf'k izkIr djus ds vf/kdkjh gSa %& 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 25]70]400@& 2- dalksfVZ;e ds en esa ¼izR;sd vihykFkhZ dks 44]000@& :i;s½ dqy 1]32]000@& 3- vafre laLdkj ds en esa 16]500@& 4- lEink dh gkfu ds en esa 16]500@& bl U;k;ky; }kjk fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ dqy {kfriwfrZ jkf'k 27]35]400@& fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk fnyokbZ xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k ¼&½ 26]00]400@& c<+ksrjh i'pkr {kfriwfrZ jkf'k esa varj 1]35]000@& 13- rnuqlkj ;g vihy vkaf’kd :i ls Lohdkj dh tkdj fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk ikfjr iapkV] ftlds }kjk vihykFkhZx.k@DysesaV~l dks 26]00]400@& :i;s fnyok;s tkus dk vkns'k ikfjr fd;k x;k gS] ds LFkku ij 27]35]400@& :i;s dk iapkV ikfjr fd;k tkrk gSA mDr jkf'k ij fu;ekuqlkj vk;dj dVkSrh dh tk,xhA vihykFkhZx.k }kjk iwoZ esa izkIr dh x;h jkf’k dks iapkV jkf’k esa ls lek;ksftr fd;k tkdj 'ks"k jkf’k vihykFkhZ izkIr djus ds vf/kdkjh ik;s tkrs gSaA 14- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZx.k dks Hkfo"; o`f) dh jkf'k ij dksbZ C;kt ugha fnyok;k x;k gSA vr% bl vkns'k }kjk fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ laiw.kZ [2026:RJ-JP:4337] (6 of 6) [CMA-4629/2024] {kfriwfrZ jkf'k ij ;kfpdk nk;j djus dh frfFk ls vihykFkhZx.k 8 izfr'kr okf"kZd C;kt izkIr djus ds vf/kdkjh gSaA 15- vkns'k dh izfr ds lkFk izdj.k dk vfHkys[k lacaf/kr vf/kdj.k dks ykSVk;k tkosA 16- rnuqlkj ;g vihy fuLrkfjr dh tkrh gSA 17- lHkh yfEcr izkFkZuk&i=ksa dks Hkh mijksDrkuqlkj fuLrkfjr fd;k tkrk gSA (ASHUTOSH KUMAR),J KESHAV VERMA /20
