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.

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 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.” 9- vr% Prakash Chand Sharma (supra) ds ekeys esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj gLrxr ekeys esa ge vihykFkhZ ds LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= izn'kZ&32 esa vafdr 22-80 izfr'kr LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk dks lEiw.kZ 'kjhj ds ifjizs{; esa 22-80 izfr'kr vkadk tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA D;ksafd vihykFkhZ ,d etnwjh Js.kh dk O;fDr gSA etnwjh Js.kh ds O;fDr dks vius 'kjhj dk lEiw.kZ cy yxkdj dk;Z djuk iM+rk gSA vihykFkhZ dh ekfld vk; 9]450@& #i;s dk 22-80 izfr’kr 2]155@& #i;s gksrh gS] tks vihykFkhZ dks Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh ekfld {kfr gSA oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dh vk;q 19 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 [2026:RJ-JP:21362] (6 of 8) [CMA-1690/2024] vihykFkhZ dks Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh {kfriwfrZ dh x.kuk gsrq vihykFkhZ dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, 18 dk xq.kd yxk;k tkuk visf{kr gSA rn~uqlkj vihykFkhZ dks Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh dqy {kfr 2]155 x 12 x 18 = 4]65]480@& #i;s gksrh gS] tks vihykFkhZ izkIr djus dk vf/kdkjh gSA 10- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks 'kkjhfjd o ekufld ihM+k] ikSf"Vd vkgkj ,oa vLirky vkokxeu dh en esa ,deq’r 15]000@& :i;s dh jkf’k fnyokbZ xbZ gS] tks de izrhr gksrh gS rFkk mDr enksa esa ge vihykFkhZ dks i`Fkd&i`Fkd jkf'k fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA 11- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk 'kkjhfjd o ekufld ihM+k dh en esa rFkk Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh lq[k&lqfo/kk dh en esa i`Fkd ls dksbZ jkf'k vihykFkhZ dks ugha fnyokbZ x;h gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa ge] vihykFkhZ dks 'kkjhfjd o ekufld ihM+k dh en esa 25]000@& #i;s rFkk Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh lq[k&lqfo/kk dh deh ds en esa 25]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA 12- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks ikSf"Vd vkgkj ds en esa i`Fkd ls dksbZ jkf'k ugha fnyokbZ xbZ gSA bl laca/k esa ;g LoHkkfod gS fd vihykFkhZ dks dkfjr pksVksa ds QyLo:i mls fo'ks"k vkgkj dh vko';drk jgh gksxhA ,slh fLFkfr esa ge ikSf"Vd vkgkj dh en esa 10]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k vihykFkhZ dks fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA 13- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks vLirky vkus&tkus gsrq ifjogu ,oa ;krk;kr ij O;; gqbZ jkf'k ds en esa i`Fkd ls dksbZ jkf’k ugha fnyokbZ xbZ gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa ge] vihykFkhZ dks ifjogu ,oa ;krk;kr ij [kpZ gqbZ jkf'k ds en esa 10]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA 14- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks bykt ij [kpZ gqbZ jkf’k ds en esa 33]620@& #i;s dh jkf’k fnyokbZ x;h gS] ftlesa dksbZ gLr{ksi fd;k tkuk ge mfpr ugha le>rs gSaA [2026:RJ-JP:21362] (7 of 8) [CMA-1690/2024] 15- vihykFkhZ }kjk izLrqr LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk izek.k i= izn'kZ&32 ds voyksdu ls vihykFkhZ dk 3 fnu rd vLirky esa HkrhZ jguk tkfgj gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks 3 fnu rd vLirky esa HkrhZ jgus dh en esa dksbZ jkf'k ugha fnyok;h x;h gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa ge vihykFkhZ dks bl en esa ge 600@& #i;s izfrfnu dh nj ls dqy 1]800@& #i;s dh jkf’k fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA 16- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks byktjr vof/k ds nkSjku 1 ekg dh vk; dh {kfr ds en esa 5]850@& :i;s dh jkf'k vihykFkhZ dks fnyokbZ xbZ gSA gLrxr ekeys dh nq?kZVuk esa vihykFkhZ ds dkfjr gqbZ pksVksa ds QyLo:i vihykFkhZ djhc 3 ekg rd dk;Z djus esa vleFkZ jgk gksxkA ,slh fLFkfr esa ge 3 ekg dh vk; dh gkfu ds en esa 6,750x3=20,250@& #i;s dh jkf'k vihykFkhZ dks fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA 17- mDrkuqlkj vihykFkhZ@DysesaV fuEu izdkj ls {kfriwfrZ jkf'k izkIr djus dk vf/kdkjh gSa %& Øe la- 'kh"kZ@en bl fu.kZ; ds rgr fu/kkZfjr dh x;h jkf’k 1- Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh {kfr ds en esa 4]65]480@& #i;s 2- 'kkjhfjd o ekufld ihM+k dh en esa 25]000@& #i;s 3- Hkfo"; dh lq[k&lqfo/kk dh deh ds en esa 25]000@& :i;s 4- ikSf"Vd vkgkj dh en esa 10]000@& :Ik;s 5- ;krk;kr vkokxeu dh en esa 10]000@& :i;s 6- bykt ij [kpZ gqbZ jkf'k ds en esa 33]620@& :i;s 7- 3 fnu rd vLirky esa HkrhZ jgus dh en esas 1]800@& :i;s 8- byktjr vof/k ds nkSjku gqbZ 3 ekg dh vk; dh gkfu ds en esa 20]250@& :i;s 9- bl U;k;ky; }kjk fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k 5]91]150@& #i;s 10- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk fnyokbZ xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k 1]93]466@& #i;s 11- c<+ksrjh i'pkr {kfriwfrZ jkf'k esa varj 3]97]684@& #i;s 18- rnuqlkj ;g vihy vkaf’kd :i ls Lohdkj dh tkdj fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk ikfjr iapkV] ftlds }kjk vihykFkhZ@DysesaV dks [2026:RJ-JP:21362] (8 of 8) [CMA-1690/2024] 1]93]466@& :i;s fnyok;s tkus dk vkns'k ikfjr fd;k x;k gS] ds LFkku ij 5]91]150@& :i;s dk iapkV ikfjr fd;k tkrk gSA mDr jkf'k ij fu;ekuqlkj vk;dj dVkSrh dh tkosxhA vihykFkhZ }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 dh vf/kdkjh ik;h tkrh gSaA 19- bl fu.kZ; }kjk c<+kbZ xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k ij ;kfpdk nk;j djus dh frfFk ls vihykFkhZ] 8 izfr'kr okf"kZd C;kt izkIr djus dh vf/kdkjh gSaA 20- rnuqlkj ;g vihy fuLrkfjr dh tkrh gSA 21- lHkh yfEcr izkFkZuk&i=ksa dks Hkh mijksDrkuqlkj fuLrkfjr fd;k tkrk gSA (ASHUTOSH KUMAR),J Badal/101s
