The main aim of the paper is to get in-depth learning about the present scenario in fixation of liability in awarding compensation that is paid to the victims of road accidents in India. Had there been no law of crimes, each wrong would have been actionable in damages, that is a monetary recompense for each wrong. In the primitive feeling of revenge, the rule is believed to be head for head, tooth for tooth, eye for eye and so on. Henry Ergson has aptly ascribed this rudimentary justice to this law of retaliatory barter, but he warned that this vendetta for head for head would have continued for ages by succeeding generations, until one of the parties had to agree to measure the injury in terms of money. This explains that criminal justice, though primarily concerned with imparting punishment on the culprit for his proved offence by way of incarceration or fine has, to some extent, given recognition to this compensatory aspect even under the penal law.
