Answer:
It is thus clear from the record that though the learned Single
Judge has made the appellant liable to pay a
sum of Rs.250,000 to
the respondent No.1 but no basis has been given as to how this
amount has been
quantified. Though it is a trite law that exact
amount of damage cannot be determined but the person
making a claim
against any other person has to substantiate his claim with cogent
material in respect of
the amount claimed as damages against the
said person. No vague and unreasonable amount could be
claimed but
the amount so claimed should be reasonable, which depends upon the
facts of each case and
no universal rule or rule of thumb could be
applied in this regard. The Hon’ble Apex Court in the above
referred decision of Sufi Muhammad Ishaq has clearly held that
“Any person claiming any damages has to
prove it through
evidence. The evidence in this regard is general, vague and scanty.
We, therefore, do not
propose to disturb the findings on these
items.”
