3. Written statement has been filed on behalf of R­1 Kuldeep Singh (driver) and R­2 Mohit (owner of offending vehicle), wherein it has been stated that the present petition was not maintainable in the eyes of law as the alleged accident was not caused due to rash and negligent driving of respondent no.1 and the petitioner/ injured himself was responsible for the accident.

3. Relief.

6. In support of his case, petitioner/ injured Inderjeet Yadav has examined himself as PW­1 and thereafter PE on behalf of the petitioner was closed.

7. In the instant case, no RE have been led on behalf of the respondents and on 13.12.2018, Ld counsel for the respondents stated that no RE was to be led and accordingly, RE was closed vide order dated 13.12.2018.

8. I have heard arguments put forward by Ld. counsel for the petitioner/ injured and R­3/ insurance company and have carefully gone through record of the case. I have carefully considered the evidence led by the petitioner/ injured in support of his case. I have also carefully perused written submissions filed on behalf of the petitioner/ injured and R­3/ insurance company.

It is pertinent to mention here that arguments have not been addressed in this case on behalf of R­1 Kuldeep Singh (driver) and R­2 Mohit (owner of offending MACP No. : 414/16 Inderjeet Yadav Vs. Kuldeep Singh & Ors. 4/18 5 vehicle), despite opportunity being given.

9. The issue­wise findings are as under :

10. ISSUE No. 1
Whether Inderjeet Yadav s/o Sh. Charan Singh sustained injuries in a motor vehicle accident dated 13.11.2015 caused due to rash or negligent driving of vehicle (Tractor) No. HR 55V 7877, being driven by respondent no. 1/Kuldeep Singh, owned by respondent No. 2/ Mohit and insured by respondent No.3/ L & T General Insurance Company Ltd. ? ...OPP The onus to prove this issue was upon the petitioner and in order to discharge the said onus, the petitioner/ injured­Inderjeet Yadav has examined himself as PW­1 and has filed his evidence by way of affidavit (Ex. PW­1/A), wherein it has been stated that on 13.11.2015 at about 12:05 PM, he was going to village Sheehi from his house at village Paprawat by motorcycle bearing registration no. DL 9SW 6530 (Splendor NXG) and when he reached near village Daulatabad, Sector Road, Rajindra Park, Gurgaon, a tractor bearing registration no. HR 55V 7877, which was being driven by its driver/respondent no. 1 in rash and negligent manner, hit the motorcycle as a result of which, he fell down on the road and sustained grievous injuries. PW­1 further deposed that after the accident, he was taken to Ortho Care hospital, Najafgarh, New Delhi, where he remained admitted from 13.11.2015 to 14.11.2015. PW­1 also deposed that the accident was caused due to rash and negligent driving of tractor no. HR 55V 7877 and a case in this regard was registered vide FIR No. 500/15 u/s 279/338 IPC at PS : Rajendra Park Gurgaon.

The important fact is that this witness i.e. PW­1 ( petitioner/ injured) was cross examined on behalf of the respondents, but nothing material has come on MACP No. : 414/16 Inderjeet Yadav Vs. Kuldeep Singh & Ors. 5/18 6 record which could assail the credibility on trustworthiness of this witness.

In his cross examination by the Ld. counsel for R­3/ insurance company, PW­1 stated that the offending vehicle was coming from opposite side and it took a sudden turn without giving any indicator. PW­1 further denied the suggestion that accident took place as he was driving his bike at a fast speed. PW­1 also denied the suggestion that accident took place due to his own negligence or that he was deposing falsely. In these circumstances, nothing material has come on record which could shake the credibility of this witness qua his deposition regarding the manner in which the accident was caused in this case.

Hence, in view of the above discussion & observations and having regard to the fact and circumstances of the present case, it is evident that petitioner/ injured­Inderjeet Yadav sustained injuries in motor vehicle accident dated 13.11.2015 due to rash and negligent driving of offending vehicle no. HR 55V 7877, which was being driven by R­1 Kuldeep Singh, owned by R­2 Mohit and insured with R­3/L & T General Insurance Company Ltd at the time of accident.

Accordingly, issue no.1 is decided in favour of the petitioner/ injured and against the respondents.

11. ISSUE No.2 Whether the petitioner is entitled to claim compensation, if so, what amount and from whom ? ...OPP The onus to prove this issue was upon the petitioner/injured and in order to discharge the said onus, petitioner/ injured Inderjeet Yadav has examined himself as PW­1 and has filed his affidavit (Ex. PW­1/A), wherein it has been stated that he met with an accident on 13.11.2015 due to rash and negligent driving of driver of MACP No. : 414/16 Inderjeet Yadav Vs. Kuldeep Singh & Ors. 6/18 7 offending vehicle bearing registration no. HR 55V 7877. PW­1 further deposed that after the accident, he was taken to Ortho Care hospital, Najafgarh, New Delhi, where he remained admitted from 13.11.2015 to 14.11.2015. PW­1 deposed that at the time of accident, he was about 22 years of age and was a student of Engineering (First Year) and was also working as a Tutor and was earning Rs.15­20,000/­pm. PW­1 further deposed that he had incurred expenses of Rs.1 lac on his medical treatment and Rs.25,000/­each on special diet, conveyance and attendant. PW­1 has also relied upon the documents Ex. PW­1/1 to Ex. PW­1/5.

In the present case, from the material and evidence on record, it is clear that petitioner/injured Inderjeet Yadav has sustained injuries on account of rash and negligent driving of offending vehicle bearing no. HR 55V 7877, which was being driven by R­1 Kuldeep Singh, owned by R­2 Mohit and insured with R­3/L & T General Insurance Company Ltd. at the time of accident and as such, petitioner/ injured Inderjeet Yadav has become entitled to claim compensation for the injuries caused to him in the above­said accident.

Further, in regard to the above­said treatment undergone by him, petitioner/injured­ Inderjeet Yadav has placed on record the medical bills/ receipts, amounting to Rs. 54,670/­. There is no reason to doubt the said bills/receipts.

14. CONVEYANCE & SPECIAL DIET In the present case, as per the medical treatment record, petitioner/ injured Inderjeet Yadav is a case of fracture oleoran Lt. Elbow with fracture Lt. Foot. In these circumstances, the petitioner/injured must have visited the hospital/doctors for his treatment and would also have required special diet for certain period to recover from the injuries sustained in the accident.

It is being submitted on behalf of the petitioner/injured that he has spent Rs. 25,000/­ each on conveyance and special diet, however no evidence, documentary or otherwise, in this regard has been brought on record on behalf of the petitioner. Further, it is pertinent to note that from the material on record, it is evident that the petitioner/injured has not suffered any permanent disability due to the injuries sustained in the accident in this case.

Hence, in view of the above and in view of the material on record, petitioner/injured shall be entitled to a sum of Rs. 10,000/­ (Rupees Ten Thousand MACP No. : 414/16 Inderjeet Yadav Vs. Kuldeep Singh & Ors. 8/18 9 only) towards conveyance.

LOSS OF INCOME In the present case, the petitioner / injured ­Inderjeet Yadav stated that at the time of accident, he was a student of Engineering (First Year) and was also working as a Tutor and was earning Rs.15­20,000/­pm, however, no documentary evidence in this regard has been placed on record and in the absence thereof, the minimum wages for matriculates during the relevant period (13..11.2015) i.e Rs. 11,154/­ p.m is taken as criteria for calculating the loss of income to the petitioner/injured.

In the instant case, petitioner/injured has suffered fracture oleoran Lt. Elbow with fracture Lt. Foot and has remained hospitalized for about one day . Further, in view of the material on record, it appears that it might have taken about three months for the petitioner/injured to recover from the said injuries sustained by him in the accident.

Kuldeep Singh & Ors. 9/18 10 examined nor any documentary proof regarding the payment being made to the above­said attendant has been brought on record by the petitioner/ injured in this case.

In the instant case, the perusal of the record reveals that petitioner / injured Inderjeet Yadav is a case of fracture oleoran Lt. Elbow with fracture Lt. Foot and he remained hospitalized for about one day due to the said injuries sustained by him in the accident. In these circumstances, the petitioner/ injured must have required the services of attendant for about three months. It is pertinent to note that the petitioner/injured would have also needed an attendant to look after him, even if the gratuitous services were rendered by the some or the other of his family members. In the case titled as "Delhi Transport Corporation and Anr. V. Lalita"

(reported as AIR 1981 Delhi 558), it has been held by the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi that a victim cannot be deprived of compensation towards gratuitous services rendered by some of the family members.
In these circumstances and in view of the material on record, the petitioner/injured shall be entitled to an amount of Rs. 4,000 X 3 = Rs. 12,000/­ (Rupees Twelve Thousand Only) towards 'Attendant Charges'.
