The learned Tribunal awarded a total<\/p>\n<p>amount of Rs. 8,500\/- with an interest @ 12% PA for the injuries<\/p>\n<p>caused to the claimant appellant in the motor accident.<\/p>\n<p>2.    The brief conspectus of facts is as under:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>3.    On 29.12.86 appellant was crossing ring road near General Store,<\/p>\n<p>Punjabi Bagh, Delhi where he was hit by motorcycle no. CHU 5992<\/p>\n<p>driven by respondent no.1 Ashok Kumar Tyagi . After accident he was<\/p>\n<p>removed to ESI Hospital. The left leg of the appellant was got fractured<\/p>\n<p>in the accident.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>4.    A claim petition was filed on 29\/6\/87 and an award was passed on<\/p>\n<p>28\/4\/99. Aggrieved with the said award enhancement is claimed by<\/p>\n<p>way of the present appeal.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>5.    Sh. O.P. Goyal counsel for the appellant claimant urged that the<\/p>\n<p>tribunal awarded inadequate amount towards conveyance expenses,<\/p>\n<p>special diet expenses, mental pain and sufferings etc. The counsel also<\/p>\n<p>contended that the tribunal erred in not awarding compensation<\/p>\n<p>towards permanent disability, loss of income during treatment and loss<\/p>\n<p>of amenities to the appellant. Further, the counsel submitted that the<\/p>\n<p>tribunal erred in awarding an interest of 12% pa instead of 15% pa.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\"> FAO NO. 364\/99                                                 Page 2 of 8<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p> 6.    Nobody appeared for the respondents.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>7.    I have heard the counsel for the appellant and perused the<\/p>\n<p>award.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>8.    In a plethora of cases the Hon&#8217;ble Apex Court and various High<\/p>\n<p>Courts have held that the emphasis of the courts in personal injury<\/p>\n<p>cases should be on awarding substantial, just and fair damages and<\/p>\n<p>not mere token amount. In cases of personal injuries the general<\/p>\n<p>principle is that such sum of compensation should be awarded which<\/p>\n<p>puts the injured in the same position as he would have been had<\/p>\n<p>accident not taken place. In examining the question of damages for<\/p>\n<p>personal injury, it is axiomatic that pecuniary and non-pecuniary heads<\/p>\n<p>of damages are required to be taken in to account. In this regard the<\/p>\n<p>Supreme Court in <a href=\"\/doc\/1863554\/\">Divisional Controller, KSRTC v. Mahadeva<\/p>\n<p>Shetty,<\/a> (2003) 7 SCC 197, has classified pecuniary and non-<\/p>\n<p>pecuniary damages as under:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>             &#8220;16. This Court in <a href=\"\/doc\/1085060\/\">R.D. Hattangadi v. Pest Control<br \/>\n      (India) (P) Ltd.<\/a> 9 laying the principles posited: (SCC p.<br \/>\n      556, para 9)<\/p>\n<p>            &#8221; 9 . Broadly speaking while fixing an amount of<br \/>\n      compensation payable to a victim of an accident, the<br \/>\n      damages have to be assessed separately as pecuniary<br \/>\n      damages and special damages. Pecuniary damages are<br \/>\n      those which the victim has actually incurred and which are<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> FAO NO. 364\/99                                                    Page 3 of 8<\/span><br \/>\n       capable of being calculated in terms of money; whereas<br \/>\n      non-pecuniary damages are those which are incapable of<br \/>\n      being assessed by arithmetical calculations. In order to<br \/>\n      appreciate two concepts pecuniary damages may include<br \/>\n      expenses incurred by the claimant:(i) medical attendance;<br \/>\n      ( ii ) loss of earning of profit up to the date of trial; ( iii )<br \/>\n      other material loss. So far as non-pecuniary damages are<br \/>\n      concerned, they may include ( i ) damages for mental and<br \/>\n      physical shock, pain and suffering, already suffered or<br \/>\n      likely to be suffered in future; ( ii ) damages to<br \/>\n      compensate for the loss of amenities of life which may<br \/>\n      include a variety of matters i.e. on account of injury the<br \/>\n      claimant may not be able to walk, run or sit; ( iii )<br \/>\n      damages for the loss of expectation of life i.e. on account<br \/>\n      of injury the normal longevity of the person concerned is<br \/>\n      shortened; ( iv ) inconvenience, hardship, discomfort,<br \/>\n      disappointment, frustration and mental stress in life.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>9.    In the instant case the tribunal has awarded Rs. 2,500\/- for<\/p>\n<p>expenses towards medicines; Rs. 2,500\/- for special diet; Rs. 1,000\/-<\/p>\n<p>for conveyance expenses; and Rs. 2,500\/- for mental pain and<\/p>\n<p>sufferings.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>10.   On perusal of the award, it is manifest that the appellant received<\/p>\n<p>fracture in his left leg, a cut wound in his right leg and stitches were<\/p>\n<p>applied on the same. He also sustained injuries on the head and other<\/p>\n<p>parts of the body. It has come on record that the treatment of the<\/p>\n<p>appellant at the ESI hospital and the Safdurjung hospital was free of<\/p>\n<p>charge. But still he must have purchased some medicines, considering<\/p>\n<p>the same, the tribunal awarded Rs. 2,500\/- towards medical expenses.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\"> FAO NO. 364\/99                                                           Page 4 of 8<\/span><br \/>\n I do not find any infirmity in the order in this regard and the same is<\/p>\n<p>not interfered with.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>11.   As regards conveyance expenses, nothing has been brought on<\/p>\n<p>record. The appellant received fracture in his left leg, a cut wound in<\/p>\n<p>his right leg and stitches were applied on the same. He also sustained<\/p>\n<p>injuries on the head and other parts of the body. The tribunal after<\/p>\n<p>taking notice of this fact and in the absence of any cogent evidence<\/p>\n<p>awarded Rs. 1,000\/- for conveyance expenses. I do not find any<\/p>\n<p>infirmity in the order in this regard and the same is not interfered with.<\/p>\n<p>12.   As regards special diet expenses, although nothing was brought<\/p>\n<p>on record by the appellant to prove the expenses incurred by him<\/p>\n<p>towards special diet but still the tribunal took notice of the fact that<\/p>\n<p>since the appellant received fracture in his left leg, a cut wound in his<\/p>\n<p>right leg and stitches were applied on the same. He also sustained<\/p>\n<p>injuries on the head and other parts of the body. Thus he must have<\/p>\n<p>also consumed protein-rich\/special diet for his early recovery and<\/p>\n<p>awarded Rs. 2,500\/- for special diet expenses. I do not find any<\/p>\n<p>infirmity in the order in this regard and the same is not interfered with.<\/p>\n<p>13.   As regards mental pain &amp; suffering, the tribunal awarded Rs.<\/p>\n<p>2,500\/- to the appellant. The appellant received fracture in his left leg,<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\"> FAO NO. 364\/99                                                   Page 5 of 8<\/span><br \/>\n a cut wound in his right leg and stitches were applied on the same. He<\/p>\n<p>also sustained injuries on the head and other parts of the body. At the<\/p>\n<p>time of the accident, appellant was of 17 years of age and was<\/p>\n<p>studying in XII standard. In such circumstance, I feel that the<\/p>\n<p>compensation towards mental pain &amp; suffering should be enhanced to<\/p>\n<p>Rs. 15,000\/-.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>14.   As regards the compensation towards permanent disability, I feel<\/p>\n<p>that the tribunal has not erred in not awarding the same. No disability<\/p>\n<p>certificate has been brought on record to award compensation under<\/p>\n<p>this head to the appellant. Thus, no interference is made in the award<\/p>\n<p>in this regard.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>15.   As regards medical attendants, I feel that the tribunal has not<\/p>\n<p>erred in not awarding the same. No evidence has been brought on<\/p>\n<p>record to award compensation under this head to the appellant. Thus,<\/p>\n<p>no interference is made in the award in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>16.   As regards loss of amenities, resulting from the defendant&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>negligence, which affects the injured person&#8217;s ability to participate in<\/p>\n<p>and derive pleasure from the normal activities of daily life, and the<\/p>\n<p>individual&#8217;s inability to pursue his talents, recreational interests,<\/p>\n<p>hobbies or avocations. Considering that the appellant suffered<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> FAO NO. 364\/99                                                 Page 6 of 8<\/span><br \/>\n amputation of his toe, I feel that the tribunal erred in not awarding<\/p>\n<p>compensation under this head and in the circumstances of the case<\/p>\n<p>same is allowed to the extent of Rs. 25,000\/-.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>17.   As regards loss of earnings, I feel that the tribunal has not erred<\/p>\n<p>in not awarding the same. At the time of the accident, appellant was of<\/p>\n<p>17 years of age and was studying in XII standard. Since nothing has<\/p>\n<p>come on record to award compensation under this head, therefore, no<\/p>\n<p>interference is made in the award in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>18.   As regards the issue of interest that the rate of interest of 12%<\/p>\n<p>p.a. awarded by the tribunal is on the lower side, I feel that the rate of<\/p>\n<p>interest awarded by the tribunal is just and fair and requires no<\/p>\n<p>interference. No rate of interest is fixed under Section 171 of the Motor<\/p>\n<p>Vehicles Act, 1988. The Interest is compensation for forbearance or<\/p>\n<p>detention of money and that interest is awarded to a party only for<\/p>\n<p>being kept out of the money, which ought to have been paid to him.<\/p>\n<p>Time and again the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court has held that the rate of<\/p>\n<p>interest to be awarded should be just and fair depending upon the<\/p>\n<p>facts and circumstances of the case and taking in to consideration<\/p>\n<p>relevant factors including inflation, policy being adopted by Reserve<\/p>\n<p>Bank of India from time to time and other economic factors. In the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\"> FAO NO. 364\/99                                                   Page 7 of 8<\/span><br \/>\n facts and circumstances of the case, I do not find any infirmity in the<\/p>\n<p>award regarding award of interest @ 12% pa by the tribunal and the<\/p>\n<p>same is not interfered with.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>19.   In view of the foregoing, Rs. 2,500\/- is awarded for expenses<\/p>\n<p>towards medicines; Rs. 2,500\/- for special diet; Rs. 1,000\/- for<\/p>\n<p>conveyance expenses; Rs. 15,000\/- for mental pain and sufferings; and<\/p>\n<p>Rs. 25,000\/- towards loss of amenities.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>20.   In view of the above discussion, the total compensation is<\/p>\n<p>enhanced to Rs. 46,000\/- from Rs. 8,500\/- along with interest on the<\/p>\n<p>differential amount @ 7.5% per annum from the date of institution of<\/p>\n<p>the petition till realisation of the award and the same shall be paid to<\/p>\n<p>the appellant by the respondents as directed by the tribunal within 30<\/p>\n<p>days of this order.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>21.   With the above directions, the present appeal is disposed of.<\/p>\n<pre>May 04,2009                                 KAILASH GAMBHIR, J\n\n\n\n\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> FAO NO. 364\/99                                                  Page 8 of 8<\/span>\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi High Court Harish Kumar vs Ashok Kumar Tyagi on 4 May, 2009 Author: Kailash Gambhir IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI FAO NO.364\/99 Judgment reserved on:17.1.2008 Judgment delivered on:4.5.2009 Harish Kumar &#8230;&#8230;Appellant Through Mr.O.P.Goyal, Adv Versus Ashok Kumar Tyagi &#8230;&#8230;..
