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 26-09-2017 dh crkbZ x;h gS rFkk oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks etnwjh dk dk;Z dj 9]000@& #i;s izfrekg dh vk; vftZr djuk vo'; crk;k x;k gSA fdarq vihykFkhZ }kjk viuh vk; dk dksbZ Bksl izek.k fo}ku vf/kdj.k ds le{k izLrqr ugha fd;k gSA bu ifjfLFkfr;ksa esa fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ ds dk;Z dh izd`fr dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, rRle; izpfyr U;wure etnwjh nj ds vk/kkj ij mls vdq'ky Jfed gksuk ekurs gq, vihykFkhZ dh [2026:RJ-JP:24167] (4 of 6) [CMA-691/2025] ekfld vk; dh x.kuk 26 fnol dh etnwjh ds vk/kkj ij djrs gq, 207 x 26 = 5]382@& #i;s izfrekg fu/kkZfjr dh x;h gSA tcfd vihykFkhZ dh vk; dh x.kuk 30 fnol ds vk/kkj ij r; fd;k tkuk visf{kr gSA rnuqlkj vihykFkhZ dh vk; 207 x 30 = 6]210@& #i;s izfrekg fu/kkZfjr dh tkrh gSA oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks 28 o"kZ dh vk;q dk Lofu;ksftr O;olk;h gksuk crk;k x;k gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa us'kuy ba';ksjsal dEiuh fyfeVsM cuke iz.k; lsBh o vU; fjiksVsZM bu ¼2017½ 16 ,l-lh-lh- 680 esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ds vuqlkj vihykFkhZ dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, mldh fu/kkZfjr ekfld vk; 6]210@& #i;s ij Hkfo"; dh izR;k'kk dh en esa 40 izfr'kr ¼2]484@& #i;s½ dh c<+ksrjh fd;k tkuk visf{kr gSA bl izdkj vihykFkhZ dh dqy 'kq) ekfld vk; 8]694@& #i;s gksrh gS tks {kfriwfrZ fu/kkZj.k dk vk/kkj jgsxhA 8- gLrxr nq?kZVuk esa vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj ds fofHkUu Hkkxksa esa nk,a iSj esa xaHkhj pksVsa dkfjr gqbZ gSa] ftlds QyLo:i vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj esa dqy 18 izfr’kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk vkuk ik;k x;k gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k us vihykFkhZ dh 18 izfr'kr LFkk;h fu;ksZX;rk ds vk/kkj ij vk; dh {kfr Hkh 18 izfr'kr gh ekuh gSA pwafd vihykFkhZ dks etnwj Js.kh dk O;fDr crk;k x;k gS rFkk etnwj dks vius 'kjhj dk laiw.kZ cy yxkdj dk;Z djuk gksrk gSA vr% vihykFkhZ dks 18 izfr'kr LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk gksus ds vk/kkj ij ge Hkh vihykFkhZ dks vk; dh {kfr 18 izfr’kr gksuk ikrs gSaA rn~uqlkj vihykFkhZ dh ekfld vk; 8]694@& #i;s dk 18 izfr’kr 1]565@& #i;s gksrk gS tks vihykFkhZ dks Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh ekfld {kfr gSA oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks 28 o"kZ vk;q dk ekuk x;k gS] ftldk [k.Mu ugha gks ldk 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 vihykFkhZ dks Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh {kfriwfrZ dh x.kuk gsrq vihykFkhZ dh vk;q dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, 17 dk xq.kd yxk;k tkuk visf{kr gSA rn~uqlkj vihykFkhZ dks Hkfo"; esa [2026:RJ-JP:24167] (5 of 6) [CMA-691/2025] gksus okyh vk; dh dqy {kfr 1]565 x 12 x 17 = 3]19]260@& #i;s gksrh gS tks vihykFkhZ izkIr djus dk vf/kdkjh gSA 9- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks lk/kkj.k o xaHkhj pksV dh en esa dqy 12]500@& #i;s] esfMdy fcyksa dh en esa 8]995@& #i;s] vLirky esa HkrhZ jgus dh en esa 4]200@& #i;s] 'kkjhfjd o ekufld ihM+k rFkk Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh lq[k&lqfo/kk esa deh dh en esa la;qDr :i ls 1]00]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k fnyokbZ xbZ gSA vr% mDr enksa esa fnyokbZ xbZ jkf'k esa ge dksbZ gLr{ksi fd;k tkuk mfpr ugha le>rs gSaA 10- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks ikSf"Vd vkgkj dh en esa 3]500@& #i;s dh jkf'k fnyokbZ xbZ gS rFkk ifjogu o ;krk;kr dh en esa dksbZ jkf'k ugha fnyokbZ xbZ gSA vr% ge vihykFkhZ dks ikSf"Vd vkgkj rFkk ifjogu o ;krk;kr dh en esa la;qDr :i ls 10]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA 11- mDrkuqlkj vihykFkhZ@DysesaV 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"; esa gksus okyh vk; dh {kfr ds en esa 3]19]260@& #i;s 2- lk/kkj.k o xaHkhj pksV dh en esa 12]500@& #i;s 3- esfMdy fcyksa dh en esa 8]995@& #i;s 4- 7 fnu vLirky esa HkrhZ jgus dh en esa 4]200@& :i;s 5- 'kkjhfjd o ekufld ihM+k rFkk Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh lq[k&lqfo/kk esa deh ds en esa 1]00]000@& #i;s 6- ikSf"Vd vkgkj rFkk ifjogu o ;krk;kr dh en esa 10]000@& :i;s 7- bl U;k;ky; }kjk fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k 4]54]955@& #i;s 8- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk fnyokbZ xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k 4]05]819@& #i;s 9- c<+ksrjh i'pkr {kfriwfrZ jkf'k esa varj 49]136@& #i;s [2026:RJ-JP:24167] (6 of 6) [CMA-691/2025] 12- rnuqlkj ;g vihy vkaf’kd :i ls Lohdkj dh tkdj fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk ikfjr iapkV] ftlds }kjk vihykFkhZ@DysesaV dks 4]05]819@& :i;s fnyok;s tkus dk fu.kZ; ikfjr fd;k x;k gS] ds LFkku ij 4]54]955@& :i;s dk iapkV ikfjr fd;k tkrk gSA mDr jkf'k ij fu;ekuqlkj vk;dj dVkSrh dh tk,xhA 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 dk vf/kdkjh ik;k tkrk gSaA 13- 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 dk vf/kdkjh gSA 14- fu.kZ; dh izfr ds lkFk izdj.k dk vfHkys[k lacaf/kr vf/kdj.k dks ykSVk;k tkosA 15- rnuqlkj ;g vihy fuLrkfjr dh tkrh gSA 16- lHkh yfEcr izkFkZuk&i=ksa dks Hkh mijksDrkuqlkj fuLrkfjr fd;k tkrk gSA (ASHUTOSH KUMAR),J 118-S/KESHAV VERMA
