    deposed that driver of the offending car get down from his car and fled away within
    few minutes from the spot of accident and he informed the police and he was shifted to
    Nulife Hospital, Mukharjee Nagar by the public persons for treatment. Petitioner
    further examined PW2 Vishnu Singh (Retired SI). PW2 deposed that he was
    investigating officer of FIR no. 737/2018 U/s 279/338 IPC read with Section 15.2/177,
    134/187, 146/196 of M.V. Act PS Mukherjee Nagar and he arrested the accused
    Janpreet Singh (respondent no. 1) and released him on police bail. He further deposed
    that the offending vehicle was taken into custody and same was released on superdari.
    Since the offending vehicle was uninsured and the owner of the vehicle submitted FD
    of Rs. 75,000/- as per Hon’ble Court direction for releasing the same. PW2 further
    deposed that respondent no. 1 met him 5-6 times after the accident but respondent no.
    1 never submitted any CD / audio / video / tape recording in this regard, which shows
    a conversation took place between the injured and any person. Even, respondent no. 1
    never told him or communicated that he is having a above said audio / video / tape
    recording nor respondent no. 1 has ever submitted the same electronic documents to
    any senior officer of police. PW2 further deposed that respondent no. 1 never
    submitted the same above said electronic documents at the time of filing the charge
    sheet or filing the detailed accident report before this Tribunal. Though PW2 has been
    duly cross examined by the respondents, but testimony of PW2 could not be
    impeached and nothing material has come on record to disbelieve his testimony.

    9. Respondent No. 1, to substantiate his defense, examined himself as R1W1 but
    he categorically admitted in his cross-examination that he never lodged a single
    complaint before any higher authority or legal forum regarding his alleged false
    implication. Furthermore, he failed to file any protest petition before the concerned
    Digitally signed
    bycompletely
    criminal court. If he was truly innocent, it is SUNIL contrary to normal human

    conduct to remain silent and take no legal recourse against a false FIR. Respondent
    No. 1 further examined R1W2 (Manan Arora) and R1W3 (Sidharth Arora). However,
    both witnesses admitted during their cross-examination that they are close friends of
    respondent No. 1 but these witnesses never approached the police to record their
    statements or report the alleged true facts during the investigation. Their sudden
    appearance as defense witnesses is a sheer attempt to shield respondent No. 1.
    Although, the respondents claim that they helped the injured petitioner at the spot of
    the accident, but they have failed to examine any independent public witness. It is a
    settled fact that public persons inevitably gather at an accident site. Instead of
    presenting a neutral bystander, the respondent chose to rely solely on interested
    friends, drawing an adverse inference against the credibility of their defense. Further,
    there is nothing on record to suggest any prior enmity, malice, or grudge between the
    petitioner and respondent No. 1 and all this establish, on the touchstone of
    preponderance of probabilities, that the accident was caused solely due to the rash and
    negligent driving of Respondent No. 1. The defense witnesses have utterly failed to
    disprove the involvement of the offending vehicle. Further, apart from deposition of
    PWs, the fact that petitioner suffered injuries in the accident is also supported by his
    MLC filed along with DAR collectively Ex. PW1/4, Respondent has not placed on
    record any document to disprove the factum of rash and negligent driving by him.
    Relying upon the judgment of Mahila Dhanvanti and Ors Vs. Phulwant Mahendra
    Singh, Miscellaneous Appeal no.239/1992 decided by Hon’ble Madhya Pradesh High
    Court on 29.07.1993 in which it is held as under:-

    “The plaintiff can prove the accident but cannot prove how it happened to establish
    negligence. This hardship is to be avoided by applying the principle of res ipsa
    loquitur. The general purport of the words res ipsa loquitur is that the accident speaks
    Digitally signed
    for itself or tells its own story”. by SUNIL

    Thus, Claims Tribunal while dealing with the law of torts in motor accident
    cases applies the principle of “res ipsa loquitur”. Considering all this, it stands proved
    that accident in question occurred due to rash and negligent driving of offending
    vehicle by the respondent and petitioner suffered grievous injuries in the said accident.

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

    ISSUE No. 2

    Whether the petitioner is entitled to compensation if so, what amount and from
    whom of respondents? OPP.

    10. As far as the issue with respect to right to claim compensation is concerned,
    being injured, petitioner is the natural eye-witness of accident and is well within his
    rights to claim compensation from the respondent. Accordingly, the question of right
    of the injured for claiming of compensation is decided in favour of the petitioner.

    Now, the second part of the issue in hand with respect to the quantum of compensation
    is to be adjudicated and below are the finding: –

    11. Section 168 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, mandate the Tribunal to hold an
    inquiry into claims under section 166 and to determine the amount of compensation
    which appears to be just and reasonable. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in “Sarla Verma
    v. Delhi Transport Corporation
    ” (2009), held as under:

    “Just compensation” is adequate compensation which is fair and equitable, on the
    facts and circumstances of the case, to make good the loss suffered as a result of the
    wrong, as far as money can do so, by applying the well settled principles relating to
    award of compensation. It is not intended to be a bonanza, largesse or source of
    profit”. Digitally signed

    12. Petitioner as PW1 deposed that he was doing the work of Food Delivery Boy
    with Zomato company and used to earn about Rs. 20,000/- p.m. and he could not
    continue his work after his accident due to his disability. He further deposed that as he
    suffered disability/deformity in relation to his right lower limb due to his accident, he
    is not able to run, taking turn and using Indian toilet due to his above said
    disability/deformity and can’t drive his motor cycle after his accident. PW1 further
    deposed that he has incurred Rs. 20,000/- on his treatment Rs.20,000/ on special diet
    and Rs. 20,000/- on conveyance during his treatment. Petitioner / PW1 relied upon
    his Aadhar card, driving license and PAN collectively Ex. PW1/1, original treatment
    record collectively Ex. PW1/2 and 10th class pass certificate Ex. PW1/3. Original
    medical bills placed and proved on record are of Rs16,099/- Accordingly, this amount
    of Rs. 16,099/- is awarded to the petitioner/injured towards medical expenses. Further,
    there is no evidence to verify that petitioner has spent any amount on special diet,
    conveyance, attendant etc., however, keeping in view the nature of injuries sustained
    by the petitioner and considering the treatment record, this Tribunal is of the opinion
    that the petitioner must have undergone surgeries and procedures and thus he must
    have incurred expenses on special diet required for his speedy recovery as well as on
    travel to hospitals etc. Accordingly, Rs.20,000/- each towards special diet and
    conveyance is awarded to the petitioner/injured.

    13. During the pendency, petitioner was referred to Hindu Rao Hospital for
    assessment of his permanent disability and a disability certificate received on record,
    as per which, medical board opined 24% disability in relation to right lower limb and
    to prove the disability certificate, petitioner examined PW2 Dr. Debasish Panigrahi,
    CMO (SAG), Department of Orthopedic, HR Hospital, Delhi. PW2 brought the
    disability record pertaining disability certificate no.signed

    proved the disability certificate Ex. PW2/1. He deposed that petitioner has a stiff
    right hip following surgery due to which he cannot sit, cross-legged and squat
    normally and may have difficulty to use stairs, running. PW2 has not at all cross
    examined by the respondents. Since the said disability certificate has been issued by
    the medical board of a government hospital, the Tribunal has no reason to disbelieve
    the same.

    14. As far as percentage of loss of earning capacity in relation of disability is
    concerned, considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that
    petitioner has suffered 24% disability, which is permanent in nature and not likely to
    improve and following the principles of justice, equity and good conscience and to
    adopt more realistic, pragmatic and liberal approach, the Tribunal is of the view that
    this kind of disability would somehow hamper day to day activity of petitioner and
    work for gain. Accordingly, the functional disability of petitioner is taken as 12% qua
    whole body for calculating the loss of earning capacity.

    15. As far as loss of income is concerned, except deposition of petitioner, there is
    nothing on record to prove that petitioner was earning Rs. 20,000/- per month yet as
    the petitioner was matriculate as per certificate Ex. PW1/3, he is entitled to claim
    compensation on the basis of his educational qualification. At the time of accident, the
    minimum wages of matriculate was Rs. 16,962/-, hence same is taken for calculating
    the loss of income during the period of treatment as well as loss to future income.

    16. So far as loss of future income due to disability is concerned, as per Aadhar card
    of petitioner, his date of birth is 01.04.1999 which inter alias means that petitioner was
    19 years and 8 months in age at the time of accident and as per the judgment passed

    Corporation, 2009 ACJ 1298, a multiplier of 18 for the victim aged upto 20 years is
    applicable. Accordingly, multiplier of 18 is thus taken for calculating his loss to future
    earnings. Further, as per the judgment in the case of National Insurance Company
    Limited Vs. Pranay Sethi and others
    , of Hon’ble Supreme Court, petitioner is also
    entitled to get 40% of enhancement of salary, as he was below 40 years in age at the
    time of accident. Counting in this way, his loss to future earnings, comes to
    Rs.6,15,517/-, details of which are well mentioned in the attached proforma.
    Accordingly, this amount of Rs.6,15,517/- is allowed to the petitioner, as loss of future
    earnings, due to permanent disability.

    Rs.13,03,388/-, details of which is mentioned in the attached proforma.

    In the light of the above discussion, the aspect of liability of the respondents is to
    be adjudicated and findings are mentioned below: –

    19. Admittedly, the vehicle in question was not insured, at the time of accident and
    the vehicle was being driven by respondent no. 1. and respondent no. 1 has failed to
    prove that he was not rash and negligent or that accident has been occurred due to
    negligence on the part of petitioner. Further, there is nothing on record, which shows
    that respondents have approached to any higher authority against false implication in
    the present case, which inter alias shows that respondent no. 1 was driving the vehicle
    at the time of accident in a rash and negligent manner and caused the injuries upon the
    petitioner and since vehicle in question was not insured, respondents, being the driver
    and owner of the vehicle in question are liable to pay the compensation to the
    petitioner jointly and severally.

    This issue is therefore decided in favour of petitioner and against the respondents
    holding that petitioner is entitled to get compensation from the respondents jointly and
    severally.

    ISSUE NO. 3 (RELIEF)

    20. Petition in hand is allowed and an award in the sum of Rs. 21,64,000/-

    88 months interest @ 9% per annum from the date of filing the petition till the date of
