When the jeep<\/p>\n<p>reached near the gate of RSEB office, at village Keerat, a jeep<\/p>\n<p>coming from Phalasiya, bearing No.RJ.06-T-0325 which was<\/p>\n<p>being rashly and negligently driven by its driver Babu, non-<\/p>\n<p>claimant No.3, dashed against the jeep in which the claimant<\/p>\n<p>appellant was travelling, as a result of which, the claimant<\/p>\n<p>appellant sustained several grievous injuries. The report of the<\/p>\n<p>said incident was lodged at Police Station, Phalasiya , were<\/p>\n<p>Cr.Case   No.41\/2004     was   registered      and after    usual<\/p>\n<p>investigation, the Investigating Officer came to the finding that<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the accident took place due to rash and negligent driving of the<\/p>\n<p>jeep by    its   driver Babu ,non-claimant   No.3.    As such, a<\/p>\n<p>challan was filed against him for the offences under section<\/p>\n<p>279, 337 338 and 304-A IPC, before the court of Addl.Chief<\/p>\n<p>Judicial Magistrate, Jhadol.

It was further submitted that due to        injuries,   he<\/p>\n<p>suffered a lot of monitory loss as well as mental shock.

It was<\/p>\n<p>further averred that the claimant appellant has not made the<\/p>\n<p>driver, owner and insurer of jeep No.RJ.27-T-0861 as<\/p>\n<p>partiesand further stated that the non-claimant No.3, driver of<\/p>\n<p>the jeep      was not in possession of a valid and effective<\/p>\n<p>licence at the time of accident and the driver was also not in<\/p>\n<p>possession of permit to drive the vehicle in the alleged route<\/p>\n<p>and    the insurer was not informed of the occurrence of the<\/p>\n<p>accident in time, as such, the Insurance Company cannot be<\/p>\n<p>held responsible for the payment of compensation and it was<\/p>\n<p>prayed that the claim petition may be dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>       Chhaganlal, non-claimant No.2, owner and Babu, non-<\/p>\n<p>claimant No.3, driver of the jeep, filed their reply and denied<\/p>\n<p>all the allegations pleaded in the claim petition and further<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>stated that the accident occurred due to rash and negligent<\/p>\n<p>driving of jeep No.RJ.27-T-0861 by its driver. It was also stated<\/p>\n<p>that since jeep was insured with non-claimant No.1, insurer,<\/p>\n<p>therefore, in case of compensation, the Insurance Company is<\/p>\n<p>responsible for the payment of same, and prayed to dismiss<\/p>\n<p>the claim petition against them.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>     The learned Tribunal, on the pleadings of the parties,<\/p>\n<p>framed relevant issues with regard to responsibility of causing<\/p>\n<p>accident and with regard to quantum of compensation.<\/p>\n<p>     The claimant-appellant got examined herself as AW\/1<\/p>\n<p>and also got exhibited documents produced by him , Ex.2, to<\/p>\n<p>Ex.15 in support of his claim.         In rebuttal, the non-claimants<\/p>\n<p>neither got examined any witness                nor   exhibited any<\/p>\n<p>document in defence.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>     The learned Tribunal, after hearing both the sides, held<\/p>\n<p>that due to rash and negligent driving of jeep No.RJ.06-T-0325<\/p>\n<p>by its driver, the   accident occurred and in that accident the<\/p>\n<p>claimant -appellant     sustained several injuries.         Vide its<\/p>\n<p>judgment and award dated 14.08.07 , after considering the age<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>and income of the claimant, awarded a total compensation of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.26,000\/-, plus interest thereon @ 9%           per annum, holding<\/p>\n<p>non-applicants jointly and severally responsible for the payment<\/p>\n<p>of the same.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>     The claimant-appellant,            being felt aggrieved and<\/p>\n<p>dissatisfied with the amount of compensation, as awarded by<\/p>\n<p>the learned Tribunal, has preferred this appeal against the<\/p>\n<p>judgment and award dated 14.08.07             and made submissions<\/p>\n<p>for enhancement of the compensation amount. Notice of<\/p>\n<p>appeal was given to the respondents, record of the case was<\/p>\n<p>called and the parties were heard.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>     During the course of arguments, learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>appellant submitted that the learned Tribunal has not properly<\/p>\n<p>considered     and   appreciated       the   facts,     with   regard   to<\/p>\n<p>determination of adequate compensation and determined a<\/p>\n<p>meagre amount of compensation, that is required to be<\/p>\n<p>modified and enhanced.      It was further            submitted that the<\/p>\n<p>claimant   has received several injuries on his person and on<\/p>\n<p>the basis of injuries sustained by him, a certificate in respect<\/p>\n<p>of permanent disability had been issued by the Doctor, Ex.13,<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>by which his efficiency has been found to be reduced by 10%.<\/p>\n<p>It was stated that looking to the age of the appellant, as proved<\/p>\n<p>to be 38 years and taking into consideration his income ,<\/p>\n<p>Rs.200\/- per day,     a reasonable compensation, under the<\/p>\n<p>head of permanent disability, should have been determined.<\/p>\n<p>But the learned tribunal has determined compensation without<\/p>\n<p>any basis ,a lump sum amount of Rs.20,000\/- under that head<\/p>\n<p>and awarded a     petty amount     for the pain and agony and<\/p>\n<p>suffering and medical expenses and in this way, a total amount<\/p>\n<p>of Rs.26,000\/- has been awarded. On the basis of these<\/p>\n<p>submissions, it was urged that adequate compensation may<\/p>\n<p>be determined and awarded, and the appeal may be allowed.<\/p>\n<p>     On the contrary, the learned counsel for the respondent<\/p>\n<p>supported the judgment and award        passed by the learned<\/p>\n<p>tribunal and submitted that reasonable compensation has been<\/p>\n<p>awarded and there is no scope for further enhancement.<\/p>\n<p>     I have considered the rival contentions and perused the<\/p>\n<p>finding and conclusion drawn thereon.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>     The main question       remains for consideration in the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>appeal is whether the awarded compensation is not adequate,<\/p>\n<p>just and reasonable, and it requires enhancement ?.<\/p>\n<p>     In this respect , I have seen the submission of claimant,<\/p>\n<p>as well as the material placed from his side. The claimant<\/p>\n<p>appellant has stated that several injuries have been sustained<\/p>\n<p>by him in accident, he remained hospitalised for several days<\/p>\n<p>and plaster treatment was    done. On the basis of       injuries<\/p>\n<p>sustained by him , permanent disability has been certified by a<\/p>\n<p>team of Govt.   doctors upto the extent of 10%. Injuries are<\/p>\n<p>further supported by his statement, as well as other material<\/p>\n<p>placed on record and there is no rebuttal from the other side.<\/p>\n<p>The learned tribunal has determined a lumpsum compensation<\/p>\n<p>of Rs.20,000\/- in this respect. Looking to the age and injuries<\/p>\n<p>sustained by him, and the income as stated by the claimant, I<\/p>\n<p>find that the awarded compensation in this respect is on the<\/p>\n<p>lower side, and is not found just and reasonable. Taking into<\/p>\n<p>consideration the percentage       of disability   shown by the<\/p>\n<p>doctors, vide Ex.13, it comes to more that Rs.35,000\/- but the<\/p>\n<p>learned tribunal has awarded only Rs.20,000\/- under this head.<\/p>\n<p>     Considering the over all facts of the case, an additional<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   9<\/span><\/p>\n<p>sum of compensation of Rs.15,000\/ is required to be added<\/p>\n<p>in the awarded compensation of Rs.26,000\/-. That comes to<\/p>\n<p>Rs.41,000\/- Considering the facts,      the claimant appellant is<\/p>\n<p>also entitled to receive interest on the enhanced amount, at<\/p>\n<p>the same rate as awarded by the learned tribunal, i.e. 9% per<\/p>\n<p>annum from the date of filing of the claim petition.<\/p>\n<p>           On the basis of the   aforesaid discussion, in the net<\/p>\n<p>result, the appeal is partly allowed and the awarded<\/p>\n<p>compensation of Rs.26,000\/- is enhanced by Rs.15,000\/- ,<\/p>\n<p>that comes to Rs.41,000\/. Further,        the   appellant will get<\/p>\n<p>interest @ 9% per annum , on the enhanced amount, from the<\/p>\n<p>date of filing of the claim petition. Rest of the judgment is<\/p>\n<p>confirmed. No order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                            (MANAK MOHTA), J.\n<\/p>\n<p>l.george\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rajasthan High Court &#8211; Jodhpur Vaga vs N.I.C.Ltd.&amp; Ors on 6 August, 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR JUDGMENT VAGA VS.
