Dr. Gop Ramchandani vs Onkar Singh And Ors. on 5 November, 1992
7. So far as the pecuniary damages in connection with the medical treatment, etc., are concerned, the learned Tribunal has awarded a total sum of Rs. 5,563.45 which may be rounded up as Rs. 5,600. This amount is correct and in my opinion, the claimant-respondent is entitled to pecuniary damages of Rs. 5,600 and non-pecuniary special damages of Rs. 3,00,000. The total amount of compensation which the claimant-respondent is entitled to comes to Rs. 3,05,600. This amount, in my opinion is quite reasonable and adequate in view of the principle laid down in Dr. Gop Ramchandani's case, 1993 ACJ 577 (Rajasthan), by this Court and in R.D. Hattangadi's case, 1995 ACJ 366 (SC), by the Hon'ble Supreme Court. The total compensation of Rs. 3,78,000 awarded by the learned Tribunal is, therefore, required to be reduced to Rs. 3,05,600.
