In case of motor accidents leading to injuries and disablements, it is a well settled principle that a person must not only be [2026:RJ-JP:2663] (3 of 8) [CMA-50/2025] 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 30-12-2019 dh crkbZ x;h gS rFkk oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks 34 o"kZ dh vk;q dk gksuk crkrs gq, vkWVks pykus dk dk;Z dj 20]000@& :Ik;s ekfld vk; vftZr djuk crk;k x;k gSA fdUrq viuh vk; ds laca/k esa vihykFkhZ dh vksj ls fo}ku vf/kdj.k ds le{k dksbZ Bksl lk{; izLrqr ugha dh x;h gSA bu ifjfLFkfr;ksa esa fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks vdq'ky Jfed gksuk ekurs gq, ?kVuk dh frfFk dks izpfyr U;wure etnwjh ds vk/kkj ij vihykFkhZ dh vk; 5]850@& #i;s ekfld fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ gSA vihykFkhZ }kjk Dyse ;kfpdk esa Lo;a dks oDr ?kVuk vkWVks pkyd@MªkbZoj dk dk;Z djuk crk;k x;k gS rFkk oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ vkWVks pyk jgk FkkA ,slh fLFkfr esa ge e`rd ds dk;Z dh izÑfr dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, mls dq'ky Jfed ekurs gq, ?kVuk dh frfFk dks izpfyr U;wure etnwjh ds [2026:RJ-JP:2663] (4 of 8) [CMA-50/2025] vk/kkj ij mldh vk; fu/kkZfjr fd;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA oDr ?kVuk dq'ky Jfed dh nSfud vk; 249@& #i;s] rn~uqlkj ekfld vk; 7]470@& :i;s gksrh gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; esa Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh dksbZ c<+ksrjh ugha dh x;h gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dh vk;q 32 o"kZ fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa us'kuy bZa';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, mijksDr fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; 7]470@& #i;s ij 40 izfr'kr dh Hkfo";&o`f) fd;k tkuk visf{kr gSA 7]470@& #i;s dk 40 izfr'kr 2]988@& #i;s gksrk gSA mDr 40 izfr'kr jkf'k dks vihykFkhZ dh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; esa tksM+s tkus ds mijkar vihykFkhZ dh dqy ekfld vk; 10]458@& #i;s gksrh gS] tks {kfriwfrZ ds fu/kkZj.k dk vk/kkj jgsxhA 8- gLrxr nq?kZVuk esa vihykFkhZ ds nka;s iSj dh tka?k dh gM~Mh esa vfLFkHkax gksuk rFkk vka[k] flj o 'kjhj ds vU; Hkkxksa ij pksVsa vkuk tkfgj gSA ftuds lkewfgd izHkko ls vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj esa dqy 35-70 izfr’kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk vkuk ik;k x;k gS] tSlk fd LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk izek.k&i= izn'kZ&16 ds voyksdu ls Li"V gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks dkfjr 35-70 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;% ¼2011½ 1 ,llhlh 343 ds vk/kkj ij lEiw.kZ 'kjhj ds vuqikr esa 15 izfr'kr vkadk x;k gSA 9- bl laca/k esa ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; }kjk ikfjr U;kf;d n`"VkUr 2025 SCC Online SC 276, 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 [2026:RJ-JP:2663] (5 of 8) [CMA-50/2025] 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 gSA 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.
