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.” 8- i=koyh ds voyksdu ls izdV gksrk gS fd ekeys dh ?kVuk fnukad 25-02-2007 dh crkbZ x;h gS rFkk oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dks 28 o"kZ dh vk;q dk gksuk crkrs gq, odkyr dk dk;Z dj izfrekg 5]000@& #i;s dh vk; vftZr djuk vo'; crk;k x;k gSA fdUrq vihykFkhZ }kjk viuh vk; dk dksbZ Bksl izek.k vf/kdj.k ds le{k izLrqr ugha fd;k gSA bu ifjfLFkfr;ksa esa fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk oDr ?kVuk vihykFkhZ dh ekfld vk; 5]000@& #i;s izfrekg fu/kkZfjr djrs gq, rFkk vihykFkhZ dks dkfjr pksVksa ds [2025:RJ-JP:12577] (4 of 6) [CMA-1249/2012] QyLo:i 6-6 izfr'kr LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, rFkk vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj ij vkbZ pksVksa ds QyLo:i vihykFkhZ dks yxHkx rhu ekg rd dk;Z djus esa vleFkZ ekurs gq, vihykFkhZ dks dqy 15]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k vk; dh {kfr Lo:i fnyokbZ xbZ gS] tks mfpr izrhr gksrh gSA vf/kdj.k ds mDr fu"d"kZ esa ge dksbZ gLr{ksi fd;k tkuk mfpr ugha le>rs gSaA 9- nq?kZVuk esa dkfjr gqbZ pksVksa ds QyLo:i vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj ij 6-6 izfr'kr LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk dkfjr gksuk ik;k x;k gS] tSlk fd izn’kZ&11 ds voyksdu ls Li"V gSA fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ ds i{k esa tkjh LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk izek.k&i= izn'kZ&11 ij vfo'okl fd;k x;k gSA vihykFkhZ dk LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk izek.k&i= ,l-ds- lksuh vLirky }kjk tkjh fd;k x;k gSA ftlds laca/k esa fo}ku vf/kdj.k us vius fu.kZ; ds iSjk&11 esa fuEufyf[kr er O;Dr fd;k gS %& ^^--------izek.k&i= izn'kZ&11 lksuh vLirky ds esfMdy cksMZ ls tkjh gSA ekuuh; mPp U;k;ky; us vius U;k; n`"Vkar ,l-ch- flfoy felysfu;l vihy la[;k&6396 lu~ 2011 fu.kZ; fnukad 02-12-2011 esa t;iqj esa fLFkr lHkh nkok vf/kdj.kksa dks ;s funsZ'k fn;s gSa fd ,l-ds-lksuh ,oa vU; futh vLirkyksa ls tkjh fd;s x;s fodykaxrk izek.k&i=ksa dks Lohdkj ugha djsa] mu ij fo'okl ugha djsaA bu ifjjfLFkfr;ksa esa bl izek.k&i= ij fo'okl fd;k tkuk esjh jk; esa dfBu gSA** 10- ,slh fLFkfr esa pwafd vihykFkhZ dk LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk izek.k&i= izn'kZ&11 fo'oluh; ugha gSA vr% mDr LFkkbZ fu;ksZX;rk ds vk/kkj ij vihykFkhZ {kfriwfrZ izkIr djus dk vf/kdkjh ugha gSA 11- vihykFkhZ ds 'kjhj ij dsoyek= ,d xaHkhj pksV mDr nq?kZVuk esa vkuk crk;k x;k gSA ftl ij fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk 'kkjhfjd o ekufld [2025:RJ-JP:12577] (5 of 6) [CMA-1249/2012] ihM+k dh en esa 10]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k vihykFkhZ dks fnyokbZ xbZ gS] ftlesa dksbZ gLr{ksi fd;k tkuk ge mfpr ugha le>rs gSaA 12- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh lq[k&lqfo/kkvksa dh deh dh en esa i`Fkd ls dksbZ jkf'k vihykFkhZ dks ugha fnyokbZ xbZ gSA vr% Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh lq[k&lqfo/kkvksa dh deh dh en esa ge] 5]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k vihykFkhZ dks fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA 13- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vihykFkhZ dks mlds bykt ij [kpZ gqbZ jkf’k ds en esa esfMdy fcyksa ds vk/kkj ij dqy 812@& #i;s dh jkf’k fnyokbZ x;h gS] blesa Hkh ge dksbZ gLr{ksi fd;k tkuk mfpr ugha le>rs gSaA 14- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk ikSf"Vd vkgkj dh en esa 2]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k vihykFkhZ dks fnyokbZ xbZ gS] ftls la'kksf/kr fd;k tkuk ge mfpr le>rs gSaA vr% ikSf"Vd vkgkj dh en esa ge] 5]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k vihykFkhZ dks fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA 15- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk vLirky vkus&tkus gsrq] ifjogu ,oa ;krk;kr ij O;; gqbZ jkf'k ds en esa 500@& #i;s dh jkf'k vihykFkhZ dks fnyokbZ xbZ gS] tks de izrhr gksrh gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa ge ifjogu ,oa ;krk;kr dh en esa 2]500@& #i;s dh jkf'k] vihykFkhZ dks fnyok;k tkuk mfpr le>rs gSaA 16- fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk ;kfpdk [kpZ ds isVs 1]000@& #i;s dh jkf'k vihykFkhZ dks i`Fkd ls fnyokbZ xbZ gSA blesa Hkh ge dksbZ gLr{ksi fd;k tkuk mfpr ugha le>rs gSaA 17- mDrkuqlkj vihykFkhZ@DysesaV fuEu izdkj ls {kfriwfrZ jkf'k izkIr djus dk vf/kdkjh gS %& Øe la[;k 'kh"kZ@en vf/kdj.k }kjk fnyokbZ x;h jkf’k 1- 2- 3- vk; dh {kfr ds en esa 'kkjhfjd o ekufld ihM+k Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh lqfo/kk dh deh ds en esa 15]000@& 10]000@& 'kwU; bl fu.kZ; ds rgr fu/kkZfjr dh x;h jkf’k 15]000@& 10]000@& 5]000@& [2025:RJ-JP:12577] (6 of 6) [CMA-1249/2012] 4- 5- 6- 7- bykt ds nkSjku O;; gqbZ jkf'k ds en esa ikSf"Vd vkgkj dh en esa ;krk;kr o ifjogu dh en esa ;kfpdk [kpZ ds isVs 812@& 812@& 2]000@& 500@& 1]000@& 29]312@&#i;s 5]000@& 2]500@& 1]000@& 39]312@&#i;s 18- rn~uqlkj vihy la[;k&1249@2012 vkaf’kd :i ls Lohdkj dh tkdj fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk ikfjr iapkV ftlds }kjk vihykFkhZ dks 29]312@& :i;s fnyok;s tkus dk vkns'k ikfjr fd;k x;k gS] ds LFkku ij 39]312@& :i;s dk iapkV ikfjr fd;k tkrk gSA 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 gSA 19- bl vkns'k }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 20- rnuqlkj ;g vihy fuLrkfjr dh tkrh gSA 21- lHkh yfEcr izkFkZuk&i=ksa dks Hkh mijksDrkuqlkj fuLrkfjr fd;k tkrk gSA LOKESH RAJ /15 (ASHUTOSH KUMAR),J
