Holding
A clerical error in a court order may be corrected to reflect the true nature of the proceeding.
Summary
The petitioners, Vinit Kumar Ishwar and Manish Kumar Ishwar, filed a civil review challenging a previous order dated 18‑03‑2026. They pointed out a clerical mistake in the second line of paragraph 5 where “Cr. Misc. Application” was written instead of “Civil Review”. The petitioner sought correction of this error. The Court, after hearing counsel, held that the mistake was purely typographical and could be rectified without affecting the substantive relief. Accordingly, the order dated 18‑03‑2026 was modified to replace the erroneous term with “Civil Review”. The corrected order was declared part and parcel of the original order.
