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 11-02-2019 dh crkbZ x;h gS rFkk oDr ?kVuk vihykfFkZ;k dks 40 o"kZ dh vk;q dk gksuk crkrs gq, [ksrh] i'kqikyu o nq/k mRiknu dk dk;Z djds 10]000@& :Ik;s ekfld vk; vftZr djuk crk;k x;k gSA fdUrq viuh vk; ds laca/k esa vihykfFkZ;k 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 vihykfFkZ;k dks oDr ?kVuk vdq'ky Jfed gksuk ekurs gq, mldh ekfld vk; 213@& :i;s izfrfnu dh nj ls 6]390@& #i;s [2026:RJ-JP:19206] (4 of 6) [CMA-866/2024] fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ gSA oDr ?kVuk vihykfFkZ;k x`fg.kh Fkh] tks [ksrh] i'kqikyu o nw/k cspus ds O;olk; ds vfrfjDr ?kj ds ?kjsyw dke dkt djrh Fkh] blfy, ?kjsyw dke dkt djus okyh efgyk Lo;a ds dk;ksZa ds vfrfjDr vius ifjokj ds yksxksa dh ftEesnkfj;kas dk Hkh fuoZgu djrh gSA bl dkj.k vihykfFkZ;k dks dq'ky Jfed dh Js.kh esa j[kk tkuk U;k;ksfpr gSA ?kVuk fnukad 11-02-2019 dh gksuk tkfgj gSA ?kVuk ds nks ekg i'pkr fnukad 01-05-2019 dks jktLFkku jkT; esa o"kZ 2019 dh U;wure etnwjh dh nj fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ FkhA vr% mDr uohu njksa ds vk/kkj ij oDr ?kVuk dq'ky Jfed dh nSfud vk; 249@& #i;s] rn~uqlkj ekfld vk; 7]470@& :i;s fu/kkZfjr fd;k tkuk ge mfpr le>rs gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykfFkZ;k dh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; esa Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh c<+ksrjh ugha dh x;h gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk oDr ?kVuk vihykfFkZ;k dh vk;q 45 o"kZ fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa us'kuy bZa';ksjsal dEiuh fyfeVsM cuke iz.k; lsBh o vU;% fjiksVsZM bu ¼2017½ 16 ,l-lh-lh- 680 esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj vihykfFkZ;k dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, mijksDr fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; 7]470@& #i;s ij 25 izfr'kr dh Hkfo";&o`f) fd;k tkuk visf{kr gSA 7]470@& #i;s dk 25 izfr'kr 1]868@& #i;s gksrk gSA mDr 40 izfr'kr jkf'k dks vihykfFkZ;k dh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; esa tksM+s tkus ds mijkar vihykfFkZ;k dh dqy ekfld vk; 9]338@& #i;s gksrh gS] tks {kfriwfrZ ds fu/kkZj.k dk vk/kkj jgsxhA 8- gLrxr nq?kZVuk esa vihykfFkZ;k ds ^^fgi cksu** esa QSzDpj gksuk rFkk flj] iSj o Nkrh ij Hkh pksVsa dkfjr gksuk tkfgj gSA ftuds lkewfgd izHkko ls vihykfFkZ;k ds 'kjhj esa dqy 12 izfr’kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk vkuk ik;k x;k gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k us vihykfFkZ;k dks Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh {kfr ds en esa 12 izfr'kr dh deh gksuk ekuk gSA vr% ge Hkh vihykfFkZ;k dks Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; esa 12 izfr'kr dh deh gksuk izekf.kr ikrs gSaA rn~uqlkj vihykfFkZ;k dh ekfld vk; 9]338@& #i;s dk 12 izfr’kr 1]121@& #i;s gksrh gS] tks vihykfFkZ;k dks Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh [2026:RJ-JP:19206] (5 of 6) [CMA-866/2024] ekfld {kfr gSA oDr ?kVuk vihykfFkZ;k dh vk;q 45 o"kZ gksuk tkfgj gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa ljyk oekZ o vU; cuke nsgyh VªkaliksVZ dkWiksZjs'ku o vU; fjiksVsZM bu ¼2009½ 6 ,l-lh-lh- 121 rFkk iz.k; lsBh ¼mijksDr½ ds ekeyksa esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj vihykfFkZ;k dks Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh {kfriwfrZ dh x.kuk gsrq vihykfFkZ;k dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, 14 dk xq.kd yxk;k tkuk visf{kr gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk Hkh vius fu.kZ; esa 14 ds xq.kd dk iz;ksx fd;k x;k gS] tks mfpr gSA rn~uqlkj vihykfFkZ;k dks Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh dqy {kfr 1]121 x 12 x 14 = 1]88]328@& #i;s gksrh gS] tks vihykfFkZ;k izkIr djus dk vf/kdkjh gSA 9- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykfFkZ;k dks 'kkjhfjd o ekufld ihM+k dh en esa 25]000@& :i;s] ikSf"Vd vkgkj dh en esa 25]000@& :i;s] ifjogu o ;krk;kr ij O;; gqbZ jkf'k ds en esa 25]000@& :i;s rFkk bykt ij [kpZ gqbZ jkf'k ¼esfMdy fcYl½ ds en esa 73]292@& :i;s dh jkf'k fnyokbZ xbZ gS] ftuesa dksbZ gLr{ksi fd;k tkuk ge mfpr ugha le>rs gSaA 10- mijksDrkuqlkj vihykfFkZ;k@DysesaV Jherh Hkwjh nsoh fuEu izdkj ls {kfriwfrZ jkf'k izkIr djus dh vf/kdkjh gSa %& Øe la- 'kh"kZ@en bl fu.kZ; ds rgr fu/kkZfjr dh x;h jkf’k 1- Hkfo"; dh vk; dh {kfr ds en esaa 1]88]328@& #i;s 2- 'kkjhfjd o ekufld ihM+k dh en esa 25]000@& #i;s 3- bykt ij [kpZ gqbZ jkf’k ds en esa 73]292@& :i;s 4- vLirky vkokxeu dh en esa 25]000@& :i;s 5- ikSf"Vd vkgkj dh en esa 25]000@& :i;s 6- bl U;k;ky; }kjk fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k 3]36]620@& #i;s 7- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk fnyokbZ xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k 2]77]106@& #i;s 8- c<+ksrjh i'pkr {kfriwfrZ jkf'k esa varj 59]514@& #i;s 11- rnuqlkj ;g vihy vkaf’kd :i ls Lohdkj dh tkdj fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk ikfjr iapkV] ftlds }kjk vihykfFkZ;k@DysesaV dks 2]77]106@& :i;s fnyok;s tkus dk vkns'k ikfjr fd;k x;k gS] ds LFkku [2026:RJ-JP:19206] (6 of 6) [CMA-866/2024] ij 3]36]620@& :i;s dk iapkV ikfjr fd;k tkrk gSA mDr jkf'k ij fu;ekuqlkj vk;dj dVkSrh dh tkosxhA vihykfFkZ;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 vihykfFkZ;k izkIr djus dk vf/kdkjh ik;k tkrk gSaA 12- bl fu.kZ; }kjk c<+kbZ xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k ij ;kfpdk nk;j djus dh frfFk ls vihykfFkZ;k] 8 izfr'kr okf"kZd C;kt izkIr djus dk vf/kdkjh gSaA 13- rnuqlkj ;g vihy fuLrkfjr dh tkrh gSA 14- lHkh yfEcr izkFkZuk&i=ksa dks Hkh mijksDrkuqlkj fuLrkfjr fd;k tkrk gSA (ASHUTOSH KUMAR),J Badal /77s
