AWARD:

1. Detailed Accident Report (hereinafter referred to as DAR) has been filed in respect of an FIR No.193/16 for the offence punishable under Sections 279/338 IPC, PS Kamla Market, Delhi in relation to injuries caused to claimant Shakar Yadav in a motor vehicular accident that took place on 10.09.2016 within the jurisdiction of PS Kamala Market, Delhi.
(i) Later on, a claim petition has also been filed by the petitioner under Section 166 & 140 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 (in short M.V Act) claiming a compensation of ` 5 lac.

2. Facts in brief as emerged from the DAR and claim petition are that on 10.09.2016 at about 10.45 pm, petitioner was returning to home via Mitno Road on his scooty bearing no. DL2SM-5797. It was alleged that when he reached near Bagwan Dass Cold Drinks shop, offending Govt. Gypsy bearing no. AP 11X-2280 came at fast speed in a rash and negligent manner from the opposite direction and hit his scooty. Due to forceful impact, claimant fell down and sustained multiple fractures. After hitting the scooty, offending Gypsy struck with the road side pavement.

(i) It was alleged that at the time of accident, offending vehicle was being driven by respondent no. 1 and it was registered in the name of respondent no.2 and same was insured with respondent no.3.

4. Vide order dated 13.09.2017, following issues were framed:-

(i) Whether the petitioner had suffered grievous injuries in road traffic accident on 10.09.2016 within the jurisdiction of PS:
Kamla Market, Delhi due to rash and negligent driving of the vehicle bearing registration no. AP-11X-2280 driven by respondent No.1?

                                                            Shankar Yadav Vs. Ct. Datoon Konyak & ors.  

5. In support of his case, petitioner examined himself witness as PW1

(i) In rebuttal, respondent No. 2 examined Ct. Singham Suraj as R2W1.

6. On completion of evidence led by both the parties, statement of petitioner was recorded on 14.09.2018 in compliance of clause 27 of FAO No. 842 of 2003 titled Rajesh Tyagi & ors. vs. Jaivir Singh & ors. decided by Hon`ble High Court of Delhi on December 15, 2017.

7. I have heard rival submissions advanced by counsel for petitioner and respondents, perused the record carefully and gave my thoughtful consideration to their contentions.

8. My issue-wise findings are as under:-

Issue No. 1:
Whether the petitioner had suffered grievous injuries in road traffic accident on 10.09.2016 within the jurisdiction of PS:
Kamla Market, Delhi due to rash and negligent driving of the vehicle bearing registration no. AP-11X-2280 driven by respondent No.1?
FINDING:-

                                                            Shankar Yadav Vs. Ct. Datoon Konyak & ors.  

9. Counsel appearing for the respondents vehemently contended that since the accident had taken place due to the contributory negligence of petitioner, 50% of the amount is liable to be deducted from the compensation amount.

(i) Per contra counsel appearing for the petitioner refuted the said contention by arguing that there is no iota of evidence to prove that there was any contributory negligence on the part of claimant.

(ii) In this regard, testimony of PW1, R2W1 and site plan are relevant. From the deposition of both the witnesses it is clear that it was a head on collision between the scooty and Gypsy. PW1 in his cross examination admitted that he was going from Minto Road side towards Turkman Gate side and there was no road divider at the place of accident. Though PW1 denied the suggestion that he was not driving the scooty on wrong side but R2W1 testified that the scooty was coming at fast speed from wrong side. Perusal of the site plan reveals that the offending gypsy was going from East to West direction i.e. from round about towards to Minto Road and this is also corroborated by R2W1 by deposing that they were going to New Delhi Railway Station to receive some Govt. Officer. It is also clear from the site plan that scooty was coming from Minto Road towards round about i.e. Turkman Road.

   MACT No 133/17                                                                                                                                 Page No. 8    of  22         

                                                            Shankar Yadav Vs. Ct. Datoon Konyak & ors.  

(iii) From the site plan, it can safely be culled out that if the petitioner was going from Minto Road to Turkman side, his scooty should be at the left side of the road but the accident in question had taken place at point A which is located towards right side of the petitioner. This shows that the petitioner had entered in the lane of Gypsy and since Gypsy was coming from opposite direction, Gypsy hit the scooty.

(iv) From the site plan, it is also clear that after hitting the scooty at point A, Gypsy struck at point 'C' which is the corner of Minto road and Press Road. Since the point C is located at a considerable distance from point A, it can safely be culled out that Gypsy must be driven at high speed and due to that reason respondent no. 1 failed to stop the Gypsy. Further from the MLC, it is clear that respondent no. 1 had consumed liquor, which establishes that he was driving the offending Gypsy after consuming liquor. Since the blood sample of respondent no. 1 was not taken, it is not clear how much alcohol was in his blood. Since respondent no. 1 was official of Central Armed Force i.e. CRPF, he was not supposed to drive the Govt. vehicle after consuming liquor. R2W1 in his cross-examination admitted that they were posted at High Court and they left from the High Court at 9.15 pm. Indisputably, the accident had taken place at about 10.45 pm, it means that they have taken about 90 minute to reach at the place of accident despite the fact the place of accident is not located too far from the High Court complex. This shows that they had consumed liquor on the way and this can be inferred    MACT No 133/17                                                                                                                                 Page No. 9    of  22                                                                      Shankar Yadav Vs. Ct. Datoon Konyak & ors.  

from the deposition of R2W1 as he admitted in his cross- examination that they stopped at shop to buy cold drink. Though he testified that they purchased Maza but under the given circumstances, testimony of R2W1 to the extent that they purchased Maza Cold drink does not inspire any confidence. Since in the MLC it is mentioned that respondent no. 1 consumed liquor, it can safely be culled out that respondent no. 1 had consumed liquor with the cold drink.

(v) In view of the aforesaid discussion I am of the considered opinion that the accident had taken place due to the negligence of respondent no. 1 as well as negligence of petitioner. Negligence on the part of respondent no. 1 was that he was driving the offending Govt. vehicle after consuming liquor at fast speed and negligence on the part of the petitioner was that he failed to maintain his lane and entered in the lane of Gypsy. Since the respondent no. 1 failed to stop the vehicle after seeing the scooty, he was also negligent.

(vi) In view of the above, contributory negligence on the part of the petitioner is assessed at 50%. Issue no. 1 decided accordingly.

Issue No.2 :

Whether the petitioner is entitled to any compensation? if so, to what amount and from whom?

10. As per discharge summary, petitioner remained admitted at LN hospital w.e.f. 11.09.2016 to 15.09.2016 as he sustained both bone fracture left leg open Grade -III-B with fracture distal and radius. He had undergone surgery on 11.09.2016. At the time of discharge he was advised to take high protein diet and also advised to visit hospital on 17.09.2016 for follow-up treatment. He remained under treatment till 15.03.2017. Sutures were removed on 24.09.2016. Even on 31.12.2016 doctor advised him for high protein diet. Till 15.03.2017 he was advised to walk with walker.

Income of The Petitioner:-

(i) Though petitioner claimed that he was earning ` 25,000/- per month, but during inquiry he failed to produce any evidence in this regard. In the absence of any cogent evidence, no reliance can be placed on the version of petitioner that he was earning ` 25,000/- per month. Since petitioner was running a small shop, it can safely be culled out that he must have acquired some skill, accordingly, income of the petitioner is liable to be assessed as per minimum wages applicable to skilled workers. Since at the relevant time minimum wages for skilled workers was ` 11,622/-, his income is assessed at ` 11,622/-
(a). Loss of Income:
   MACT No 133/17                                                                                                                                 Page No. 11    of  22        
                                                            Shankar Yadav Vs. Ct. Datoon Konyak & ors.  
(i) As already stated that petitioner remained under treatment till March 2017 and till then he was not able to walk with the help of walker, thus it can safely be culled out that petitioner may not be able to join his work effectively till March 2017, Accordingly, loss of income for 7 months amounting Rs. 81,354/- ( 11,622 X 7) is awarded under this head.
(b) Expenditure on Medical Treatment:
(i) Counsel claimed that petitioner had spent a sum of ` 7,353/- on his treatment. Bills are on record. During inquiry, no contrary evidence has been led which may raise any suspicion over the bills produced by the claimant.

Accordingly, a sum of ` 7,353/-- is awarded towards medical expenses.

 
(c)              CONVEYANCE CHARGES:


(i)                                            Counsel claimed that petitioner had incurred

sum of ` 18,300/- on ambulance during the follow-up treatment. The bills of ambulance are on record and same are collectively Ex. CW1/4 (colly). During inquiry no contrary evidence has been led which may raise any suspicion over the said bills. Accordingly, a sum of ` 18,300/- is awarded towards conveyance charges.

(d) SPECIAL DIET:

   MACT No 133/17                                                                                                                                 Page No. 12    of  22        

                                                            Shankar Yadav Vs. Ct. Datoon Konyak & ors.  

(i) Counsel has claimed a sum of ` 15,000/- under this head. As already stated that doctor advised the petitioner for high protein diet. Though no specific evidence has been led to prove the amount spent on special diet, yet considering the duration of treatment, it can safely be culled out that petitioner must have spent substantial amount on special diet Accordingly, a sum of ` 15,000/- is awarded under this head.

(e)               NURSING/ATTENDANT CHARGES:


(i)                                              Since petitioner sustained fracture of both

bone and was not able to walk independently, it can safely be culled out that petitioner must be attended either by a paid attendant or a family member for a considerable period. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, a sum of ` 15,000/- is awarded under this head.

(f) COMPENSATION UNDER NON-PECUNIARY HEADS:-

Mental and Physical Shock :-
(i) As already stated that petitioner met with an accident all of sudden when he was returning to home. Due to the accident, he not only sustained injury, but he had to remain admitted in the hospital and to undergo surgery. Besides that he had remained under treatment for a long period. Thus, it    MACT No 133/17                                                                                                                                 Page No. 13    of  22                                                                     Shankar Yadav Vs. Ct. Datoon Konyak & ors.  

can safely be culled out that injured must have suffered acute mental and physical shock not only at the time of accident but even thereafter. Though it is difficult to quantify the said loss in monetary terms, yet considering the facts and circumstances of the case, accordingly a sum of ` 40,000/- is awarded to him under this head.

Pain and suffering:

(i) From the above, it can safely be culled out that petitioner must have also suffered acute pain and suffering not only at the time of accident but even thereafter.
