Darshan Lal vs Sunny & Ors. on 22 July, 2024
In Arvind Kumar Mishra [Arvind Kumar Mishra v. New
India Assurance Co. Ltd., (2010) 10 SCC 254 : (2010) 4
SCC (Civ) 153 : (2010) 3 SCC (Cri) 1258] , this Court
observed as under : (SCC pp. 256-57, paras 9-10)
―9. We do not intend to review in detail state of authorities
in relation to assessment of all damages for personal injury.
Suffice it to say that the basis of assessment of all damages
for personal injury is compensation. The whole idea is to put
the claimant in the same position as he was insofar as money
can. Perfect compensation is hardly possible but one has to
keep in mind that the victim has done no wrong; he has
suffered at the hands of the wrongdoer and the court must
take care to give him full and fair compensation for that he
had suffered.
