  ANALYSIS/FINDINGS ON ISSUES
 12.1 Issue No.(1) of all four matters.

 12.2               Before adverting to the facts of the present DAR for
 deciding the above issue, at the very outset, it would be apposite
 to note here that the procedure followed by an accident claim
 tribunal is similar to what is followed by a civil court. In civil
 matters the facts are required to be established by way of
 preponderance of probabilities only and not by strict rules of
 evidence or beyond reasonable doubt as is required in a criminal
 prosecution. The burden of proof in a civil case is not as heavy as
 it is in a criminal case and in a claim petition under the M. V. Act,
 this burden is even lesser than a civil case. Reference in this
 regard can be made to the prepositions of law laid down by the
 Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in case of "Bimla Devi and
 others Vs. Himachal Road Transport Corporation and Ors. "
 reported in (2009) 13 SC 530, which were reiterated in the
 subsequent judgments in the case of "Parmeshwari Vs. Amir
 Chand and Ors." 2011 (1) SCR 1096 (Civil Appeal No.1082 of
 2011) and "Mangla Ram Vs. Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. &
 Ors.", 2018 Law Suit (SC) 303 etc.
 12.3               Now           keeping         in   mind   the   aforesaid         legal
 principle/preposition for decision of the present issue, this
 Tribunal has gone through the testimony of the witnesses and
 entire material available on record. This Tribunal has also given
 thoughtful consideration to arguments addressed by Ld. Counsels
 for the parties.

  12.4               In this matter to prove the rashness and negligence of
 driving of offending vehicle by respondent no.1, the petitioner
 Prashant Malik and Ankit Dalal have deposed that on the day of
 incident, they along with Amit Kadyan were going to Gurugram in
 Creta Car bearing registration no. HR13R6218 driven by petitioner
 Ankit Dalal. At about 3:00 am, when they reached at Mayapuri
 Flyover Chowk, their vehicle was hit by vehicle bearing
 registration no. DL1LY0787 driven by respondent no.1. Due to
 same, their vehicle struck against the divider. Both vehicles
 caught fire. All of them sustained injuries. The incident happened
 due to rash and negligent driving of respondent no.1. Petitioner
 Prashant Malik denied suggestion in his cross-examination that
 their vehicle hit the divider on its own. Nothing supporting the
 case of the respondents as to manner of incident or negligence
 came on record in lengthy and skillful cross-examination done of
 said witnesses by respondent side.
 12.5               The respondent no.01/driver was the best witness
 who could have rebutted the case of rashness and negligence of
 driving of the offending vehicle put forth by claimants. But
 respondent no.01/driver has chosen not to come in witness box to
 disprove the case of the petitioner side on said aspect. In the
 given circumstances, adverse inference also needs to be drawn
 against respondents. Reliance can be placed upon the decision
 "Cholamandalam M.S. General Insurance Company Ltd. Vs.
 Kamlesh" 2009 (3) AD (Delhi) 310 upon said issue/aspect.

 13.1                The petitioner/injured Prashant Malik is certainly
 entitled for compensation in view of decision of above issue.
 Before proceeding further to decide the present issue, it would be
 apposite to encapsulate the law laid down by Hon'ble Supreme
 Court of India in its guiding lamp post judgment for ascertaining
 just compensation in road vehicular injury cases.
 13.2                Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in its division
 bench decision in matter of "Raj Kumar Vs. Ajay Kumar & Ors."
 (2011) 1 SCC 343 has held : -
        "General principles relating to compensation in injury cases
        4. The provision of The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 ('Act' for
        short) makes it clear that the award must be just, which means
        that compensation should, to the extent possible, fully and
        adequately restore the claimant to the position prior to the
        accident. The object of awarding damages is to make good the
        loss suffered as a result of wrong done as far as money can do
        so, in a fair, reasonable and equitable manner. The Court or
        tribunal shall have to assess the damages objectively and
        exclude from consideration any speculation or fancy, though
        some conjecture with reference to the nature of disability and its
        consequences, is inevitable. A person is not only to be
        compensated for the physical injury, but also for the loss which

      he suffered as a result of such injury. This means that he is to be
     compensated for his inability to lead a full life, his inability to
     enjoy those normal amenities which he would have enjoyed but
     for the injuries, and his inability to earn as much as he used to
     earn or could have earned. ( See C. K. Subramonia Iyer vs. T.
     Kunhikuttan Nair - AIR 1970 SC 376, R. D. Hattangadi Vs. Pest
     Control (India) Ltd. - 1995 (1) SCC 551 and Baker vs.
     Willoughby - 1970 AC 467).
     5. The heads under which compensation is awarded in personal
     injury cases are the following :
     Pecuniary damages (Special Damages)
     (i) Expenses relating to treatment, hospitalization, medicines,
     transportation, nourishing food, and miscellaneous expenditure.
     (ii) Loss of earnings (and other gains) which the injured would
     have made had he not been injured, comprising :
     (a) Loss of earning during the period of treatment;
     (b) Loss of future earnings on account of permanent disability.
     (iii) Future medical expenses.
     Non-pecuniary damages (General Damages)
     (iv) Damages for pain, suffering and trauma as a consequence of
     the injuries.
     (v) Loss of amenities (and/or loss of prospects of marriage).
     (vi) Loss of expectation of life
     (shortening of normal longevity).
     In routine personal injury cases, compensation will be awarded
     only under heads (i), (ii)(a) and (iv). It is only in serious cases of
     injury, where there is specific medical evidence corroborating
     the evidence of the claimant, that compensation will be granted
     under any of the heads (ii)(b), (iii), (v) and (vi) relating to loss
     of future earnings on account of permanent disability, future
     medical expenses, loss of amenities (and/or loss of prospects of
     marriage) and loss of expectation of life. Assessment of
     pecuniary damages under item (i) and under item (ii)(a) do not
     pose much difficulty as they involve reimbursement of actuals
     and are easily ascertainable from the evidence. Award under the
     head of future medical expenses - item (iii) -- depends upon
     specific medical evidence regarding need for further treatment
     and cost thereof. Assessment of non-pecuniary damages - items
     (iv), (v) and (vi) -- involves determination of lump sum amounts
     with reference to circumstances such as age, nature of
     injury/deprivation/disability suffered by the claimant and the
     effect thereof on the future life of the claimant. Decision of this
     Court and High Courts contain necessary guidelines for award
     under these heads, if necessary. What usually poses some
     difficulty is the assessment of the loss of future earnings on
     account of permanent disability - item (ii)(a). We are concerned
     with that assessment in this case. Assessment of future loss of

      earnings due to permanent disability.
     6. Disability refers to any restriction or lack of ability to perform
     an activity in the manner considered normal for a human-being.
     Permanent disability refers to the residuary incapacity or loss of
     use of some part of the body, found existing at the end of the
     period of treatment and recuperation, after achieving the
     maximum bodily improvement or recovery which is likely to
     remain for the remainder life of the injured. Temporary
     disability refers to the incapacity or loss of use of some part of
     the body on account of the injury, which will cease to exist at
     the end of the period of treatment and recuperation. Permanent
     disability can be either partial or total. Partial permanent
     disability refers to a person's inability to perform all the duties
     and bodily functions that he could perform before the accident,
     though he is able to perform some of them and is still able to
     engage in some gainful activity. Total permanent disability
     refers to a person's inability to perform any avocation or
     employment related activities as a result of the accident. The
     permanent disabilities that may arise from motor accidents
     injuries, are of a much wider range when compared to the
     physical disabilities which are enumerated in the Persons with
     Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full
     Participation) Act, 1995 (`Disabilities Act' for short). But if any
     of the disabilities enumerated in section 2(i) of the Disabilities
     Act are the result of injuries sustained in a motor accident, they
     can be permanent disabilities for the purpose of claiming
     compensation.
     7. The percentage of permanent disability is expressed by the
     Doctors with reference to the whole body, or more often than
     not, with reference to a particular limb. When a disability
     certificate states that the injured has suffered permanent
     disability to an extent of 45% of the left lower limb, it is not the
     same as 45% permanent disability with reference to the whole
     body. The extent of disability of a limb (or part of the body)
     expressed in terms of a percentage of the total functions of that
     limb, obviously cannot be assumed to be the extent of disability
     of the whole body. If there is 60% permanent disability of the
     right hand and 80% permanent disability of left leg, it does not
     mean that the extent of permanent disability with reference to
     the whole body is 140% (that is 80% plus 60%). If different
     parts of the body have suffered different percentages of
     disabilities, the sum total thereof expressed in terms of the
     permanent disability with reference to the whole body, cannot
     obviously exceed 100%.
     8. Where the claimant suffers a permanent disability as a result
     of injuries, the assessment of compensation under the head of
     loss of future earnings, would depend upon the effect and

      impact of such permanent disability on his earning capacity. The
     Tribunal should not mechanically apply the percentage of
     permanent disability as the percentage of economic loss or loss
     of earning capacity. In most of the cases, the percentage of
     economic loss, that is, percentage of loss of earning capacity,
     arising from a permanent disability will be different from the
     percentage of permanent disability. Some Tribunals wrongly
     assume that in all cases, a particular extent (percentage) of
     permanent disability would result in a corresponding loss of
     earning capacity, and consequently, if the evidence produced
     show 45% as the permanent disability, will hold that there is
     45% loss of future earning capacity. In most of the cases,
     equating the extent (percentage) of loss of earning capacity to
     the extent (percentage) of permanent disability will result in
     award of either too low or too high a compensation. What
     requires to be assessed by the Tribunal is the effect of the
     permanently disability on the earning capacity of the injured;
     and after assessing the loss of earning capacity in terms of a
     percentage of the income, it has to be quantified in terns of
     money, to arrive at the future loss of earnings (by applying the
     standard multiplier method used to determine loss of
     dependency). We may however note that in some cases, on
     appreciation of evidence and assessment, the Tribunal may find
     that percentage of loss of earning capacity as a result of the
     permanent disability, is approximately the same as the
     percentage of permanent disability in which case, of course, the
     Tribunal will adopt the said percentage for determination of
     compensation (see for example, the decisions of this court in
     Arvind Kumar Mishra v. New India Assurance Co.Ltd . -
     2010(10) SCALE 298 and Yadava Kumar v. D.M., National
     Insurance Co. Ltd. - 2010 (8) SCALE 567).
     9. Therefore, the Tribunal has to first decide whether there is
     any permanent disability and if so the extent of such permanent
     disability. This means that the tribunal should consider and
     decide with reference to the evidence: (i) whether the
     disablement is permanent or temporary; (ii) if the disablement is
     permanent, whether it is permanent total disablement or
     permanent partial disablement, (iii) if the disablement
     percentage is expressed with reference to any specific limb, then
     the effect of such disablement of the limb on the functioning of
     the entire body, that is the permanent disability suffered by the
     person. If the Tribunal concludes that there is no permanent
     disability then there is no question of proceeding further and
     determining the loss of future earning capacity. But if the
     Tribunal concludes that there is permanent disability then it will
     proceed to ascertain its extent. After the Tribunal ascertains the
     actual extent of permanent disability of the claimant based on

      the medical evidence, it has to determine whether such
     permanent disability has affected or will affect his earning
     capacity.
     10. Ascertainment of the effect of the permanent disability on
     the actual earning capacity involves three steps. The Tribunal
     has to first ascertain what activities the claimant could carry on
     in spite of the permanent disability and what he could not do as
     a result of the permanent ability (this is also relevant for
     awarding compensation under the head of loss of amenities of
     life). The second step is to ascertain his avocation, profession
     and nature of work before the accident, as also his age. The
     third step is to find out whether (i) the claimant is totally
     disabled from earning any kind of livelihood, or (ii) whether in
     spite of the permanent disability, the claimant could still
     effectively carry on the activities and functions, which he was
     earlier carrying on, or (iii) whether he was prevented or
     restricted from discharging his previous activities and functions,
     but could carry on some other or lesser scale of activities and
     functions so that he continues to earn or can continue to earn his
     livelihood. For example, if the left hand of a claimant is
     amputated, the permanent physical or functional disablement
     may be assessed around 60%. If the claimant was a driver or a
     carpenter, the actual loss of earning capacity may virtually be
     hundred percent, if he is neither able to drive or do carpentry.
     On the other hand, if the claimant was a clerk in government
     service, the loss of his left hand may not result in loss of
     employment and he may still be continued as a clerk as he could
     perform his clerical functions; and in that event the loss of
     earning capacity will not be 100% as in the case of a driver or
     carpenter, nor 60% which is the actual physical disability, but
     far less. In fact, there may not be any need to award any
     compensation under the head of `loss of future earnings', if the
     claimant continues in government service, though he may be
     awarded compensation under the head of loss of amenities as a
     consequence of losing his hand. Sometimes the injured claimant
     may be continued in service, but may not found suitable for
     discharging the duties attached to the post or job which he was
     earlier holding, on account of his disability, and may therefore
     be shifted to some other suitable but lesser post with lesser
     emoluments, in which case there should be a limited award
     under the head of loss of future earning capacity, taking note of
     the reduced earning capacity. It may be noted that when
     compensation is awarded by treating the loss of future earning
     capacity as 100% (or even anything more than 50%), the need to
     award compensation separately under the head of loss of
     amenities or loss of expectation of life may disappear and as a
     result, only a token or nominal amount may have to be awarded

 13.3                In view of the above law laid down by Hon'ble
 Supreme Court of India, in routine injury cases, award needs to
 be passed only under heads of medical expenses, loss of earning
 during treatment period and damages for pain, suffering and
 trauma.        In cases of serious injuries, where there is specific
 medical evidence corroborating the claim/evidence of the
 claimant, award additionally needs to be passed under the heads
 of loss of future earnings on account of permanent disability
 suffered, future medical expenses, loss of amenities (including
 loss of prospects of marriage) and loss of expectation of life. The
 assessment of future medical expenses would depend upon
 specific medical evidence/advise for further treatment and costs
 thereof. The determination of damages on account of pain and
 suffering, loss of amenities and loss of expectation of life would
 depend            upon             the            age   of   victim,    nature            of
 injury(ies)/deprivation/disability suffered by victim and the effect
 thereof on life of claimant.                            The process would involve
 determination/assessment of lump-sum amounts under those
 heads.       In case of assessment of loss of future earnings on
 account of permanent disability, the Tribunal needs to first
 ascertain whether the disability noted/assessed by the medical
 board is temporary or permanent in nature. If the disability is
 permanent in nature, then whether it is a total permanent
 disablement or partial permanent disablement. If the disablement

  has been referred/expressed in percentage terms, in reference to
 any specific limb then the effect of such disablement of the limb
 on the function of entire body. Once, the permanent disability is
 ascertained, then the Tribunal needs to determine whether such
 permanent disability has affected or will affect the earning
 capacity of the claimant. To ascertain same, the Tribunal needs
 to ascertain the avocation, profession and nature of work of the
 claimant before the incident.                    The Tribunal also needs to
 ascertain his age and then needs to ascertain what activities the
 claimant could carry on in spite of permanent disability and what
 he could not do as result of same. The Tribunal then also needs
 to ascertain whether the claimant is totality disabled from earning
 any kind of livelihood or whether in spite of the permanent
 disability, the claimant could still effectively carry on activities
 and functions which he was carrying on earlier or whether the
 claimant is prevented or restricted from discharging his previous
 activities and functions, but could carry on some other or lesser
 scale of activities and functions to earn or can continue to earn
 his livelihood despite permanent disability suffered.                          After
 ascertaining the functional disability vide above process, then
 Tribunal needs to workout the loss of earning capacity per month.
 The Tribunal is thereafter required to workout loss of earning
 capacity per annum.                     An appropriate multiplier needs to be
 ascertained as per judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court of India
 in matter of "Sarla Verma Vs. DTC" 2009 ACJ 1298 SC
 according to age of the injured/victim. The total loss of earning
 capacity then needs to be worked out multiplying appropriate

 capacity. This is a case where permanent disability is claimed
 and compensation is also demanded qua future loss of earnings
 on account of permanent disability, hence, this Tribunal now
 proceeds further step by step to decide the compensation/award
 under different heads applicable to the present matter in light of
 above preposition.
 DETERMINATION OF INJURIES AND DURATION OF
 TREATMENT
 13.4               It would be appropriate to first ascertain the nature
 of injuries suffered by the injured/claimant and duration of
 treatment as they need to be kept in mind while ascertaining the
 compensation under different heads applicable. As per MLC
 issued by Max Heathcare Ex.CW1A, injured has suffered
 grievous injuries in the incident. He was admitted in Max
 Healthcare on 30.06.2022 and was discharged on 04.07.2022.
 DETERMINATION OF AGE OF CLAIMANT/INJURED &
 MULTIPLIER
 13.5               The age of the claimant/injured would also be an
 essential consideration for grant of just compensation under
 different heads applicable in the present matter, so claimant's age
 also needs to be ascertained first. As per Aadhar card of injured
 available on record, date of birth of the injured is 10.04.1995 and
 the incident took place on 30.06.2022, so the injured/petitioner is
 taken to be 27 years of age at the time of incident/accident.
 Since, he falls in age bracket of 26 to 30 years, so, multiplier
 applicable to this case would be 17.

 on record. Original medical bills placed on record by the
 petitioner and paid by him comes out to be of Rs.70,276/-.
 Hence, injured/petitioner is entitled for a sum of Rs. 70,276/- on
 account of medical bills/expenses. Accordingly,               petitioner is
 awarded Rs.70,276/- on account of medical expenses.
 AWARD TOWARDS FUTURE TREATMENT
 13.8               Petitioner has claimed amount for removal of
 implant. Petitioner has not filed any estimate of expenditure of
 removal of implant. Considering the fact that implant certainly
 needs to be removed after passage of some time, an amount of
 Rs.50,000/- is awarded for its removal.
 PAIN & SUFFERINGS
 13.9               A particular amount cannot be fixed of pain and
 sufferings applicable to all cases as it varies from case to case.
 Judicial notice can be taken of the fact that since the petitioner
 has received serious injuries, therefore, petitioner must have
 suffered acute pain and sufferings owing to the said injuries.
 Considering the nature of injuries, duration of the treatment of
 the petitioner in the hospital and the disability(ies) suffered by
 the injured/petitioner as mentioned in the disability certificate,
 this Tribunal hereby grant compensation of Rs.1,50,000/-
 towards pain and sufferings to the petitioner.

 ASSESSMENT OF FUNCTIONAL DISABILITY
 13.12                 The injured/petitioner has claimed that he was doing
 private job at time of incident. The age of victim has been
 ascertained as 27 years at the time of incident. The permanent
 disability is 13% in relation to right lower limb & left upper limb.

 preventing/hampering the injured/claimant in carrying on the
 activity which he was carrying on earlier. In the opinion of this
 Tribunal, the same should be considered to have significant effect
 of functional disability in relation to claimed work of sales
 Manager                  of           the            petitioner/claimant        or            other

 petitioner/claimant in future and in any day to day activities. He
 would certain face difficulty in sitting cross-legs, climbing etc.
 Hence, the functional disability of petitioner needs to be
 considered as 07% at least.
 DETERMINATION OF FUTURE PROSPECTS APPLICABLE
 13.13                 The injured was aged less than 40 years at the time
 of incident and had no permanent job, so the future
 prospects/benefits applicable to the present case would be 40%.

 EARNING
 13.15               The total loss of earning capacity/loss of future
 earning would come out to be Rs.13,34,352/- (rounding off

“…46.Section 10 of the Act requires a driver to hold a
licence with respect to the class of vehicles and not with
respect to the type of vehicles. In one class of vehicles,
there may be different kinds of vehicles. If they fall in the
same class of vehicles, no separate endorsement is required
to drive such vehicles. As light motor vehicle includes
transport vehicle also, a holder of light motor vehicle
licence can drive all the vehicles of the class including
transport vehicles. It was pre-amended position as well the
post-amended position of Form 4 as amended on 28.3.2001.
Any other interpretation would be repugnant to the
definition of “light motor vehicle” in section 2(21) and the
provisions of section 10(2)(d), Rule 8 of the Rules of 1989,
other provisions and also the forms which are in tune with
the provisions. Even otherwise the forms never intended to
exclude transport vehicles from the category of ‘light motor
vehicles’ and for light motor vehicle, the validity period of
such licence hold good and apply for the transport vehicle
of such class also and the expression in Section 10(2)(e) of
the Act ‘Transport Vehicle’ would include medium goods
vehicle, medium passenger motor vehicle, heavy goods
vehicle, heavy passenger motor vehicle which earlier found
place in section 10(2)(e) to (h) and our conclusion is
fortified by the syllabus and rules which we have discussed.
Thus we answer the questions which are referred to us thus:

(i) ‘Light motor vehicle’ as defined in section 2(21)
of the Act would include a transport vehicle as per
the weight prescribed in section 2(21) read with
section 2(15) and 2(48). Such transport vehicles are
not excluded from the definition of the light motor
vehicle by virtue of Amendment Act No.54/1994.

(ii) A transport vehicle and omnibus, the gross
vehicle weight of either of which does not exceed
7500 kg. would be a light motor vehicle and also
motor car or tractor or a road roller, ‘unladen
weight’ of which does not exceed 7500 kg. and
holder of a driving licence to drive class of “light
motor vehicle” as provided in section 10(2)(d) is
competent to drive a transport vehicle or omnibus,
the gross vehicle weight of which does not exceed
7500 kg. or a motor car or tractor or road-roller, the
“unladen weight” of which does not exceed 7500
kg. That is to say, no separate endorsement on the
licence is required to drive a transport vehicle of
light motor vehicle class as enumerated above. A
licence issued under section 10(2)(d) continues to
be valid after Amendment Act 54/1994 and

23.3 In the case in hand, driver/respondent no.1 was
having a valid driving license to drive LMV NT and the laden
weight of the vehicle in question is 7250 kg only. So, the
respondent no.1 was holding a valid driving license to drive the
vehicle in question on the date and time of the accident as per
above case law. Hence, the contention of respondent Insurance
Company qua same stands rejected.

23.4 Respondent no.3/Insurance Company has also
contended that the vehicle in question had no permit, therefore, it
is violation of fundamental terms and conditions of insurance
contract and insurance company be exonerated in this matter.
23.5 The vehicle in question certainly had no permit of
any kind at the time of incident. The said facts is clear from DAR
and the evidence of R3W2 on record.

23.6 The insurance policy in question under the head of
limitation as to use provides cover upon use of vehicle only
under permit within meaning of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 or
such a carriage falling under Sub-section 3 of Section 66 of the
Motor Vehicle’s Act 1988. So, there is certainly violation of
terms of insurance contract in this matter. As per decision of
Hon’ble Supreme Court in matter “Amrit Paul Singh & Anr.
Vs. TATA AIG General Insurance Co. Ltd. & Ors.”, Civil
Appeal No.
2253/2018, decided on 17/05/2018, the non
possession of permit is fundamental breach of terms of insurance
contract. Vide amendment to the MV Act notification No. 1 61 dated

25.02.2022, the concept of pay & recover has been done away
with vide effect from 01.04.2022, therefore, respondent
no.3/Insurance Company needs to be exonerated in this matter.
Hence, respondent No.3/Insurance stands exonerated.
23.7 Respondent no.1 being the driver and respondent
no.2 being the owner of the offending vehicle are jointly and
severally liable to pay the awarded amount of compensation to
the petitioners. Hence, respondent no.1 and respondent no.2 are
hereby directed to deposit the award amounts in favour of the
